Ingredients:<\/p>\n
1 can (14 ounces) of sweetened condensed milk<\/p>\n
2 egg yolks<\/p>\n
1\/2 cup fresh lemon juice<\/p>\n
For the crust:<\/p>\n
1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs<\/p>\n
1\/4 cup sugar<\/p>\n
4 tablespoons melted and cooled butter<\/p>\n
Directions:<\/p>\n
Set your oven to preheat at 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C). Prep an 8×8-inch baking dish by either greasing with butter or lining with parchment paper.<\/p>\n
Mix together the crust’s components \u2013 the melted butter, graham cracker crumbs, and sugar, until you achieve a texture akin to wet sand.
\nEvenly and firmly press this mixture onto the baking dish’s base. Bake for approximately 10 minutes or until it turns a light golden brown. Allow it to cool for half an hour.<\/p>\n
For the filling, whisk the egg yolks and sweetened condensed milk together in a separate bowl until thoroughly mixed.<\/p>\n
As you stir, slowly add the fresh lemon juice to this mix, ensuring it turns smooth and luscious.<\/p>\n
Pour this lemony concoction over the pre-baked crust, ensuring an even spread.<\/p>\n
Bake for another 15 minutes or until firm. Post baking, allow it to cool and settle for a minimum of 1 hour.<\/p>\n
If you’ve used parchment paper, lift the lemon squares out, then slice them into desired portions.<\/p>\n
Relish the velvety tartness of these Creamy Lemon Squares! Any remaining pieces can be refrigerated for future indulgence.<\/p>\n
This dessert stands out as a classic embodiment of harmonized flavors. Its delightful juxtaposition of creamy lemon against a crisp crust will certainly win hearts, making the Creamy Lemon Squares a cherished recipe in your culinary repertoire.<\/p>\n
