Two-ingredient lemon bars are a simple and quick dessert that require minimal effort. Here’s a basic recipe for you:
Ingredients:
- Lemon Curd
- Pie crust or crescent roll dough
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the pie crust or crescent roll dough package.
- Prepare the Crust: If you’re using pie crust, roll it out and press it into a baking dish, covering the bottom evenly. If you’re using crescent roll dough, simply unroll it and press it into the baking dish, sealing any perforations.
- Spread Lemon Curd: Evenly spread a layer of lemon curd over the crust. Make sure to cover the entire surface.
- Bake: Follow the baking instructions for the crust you’re using. Typically, bake at the temperature specified on the dough package until the crust is golden brown and the lemon curd is set. This might take around 15-20 minutes, but it can vary, so keep an eye on it.
- Cool and Slice: Allow the lemon bars to cool completely before slicing into squares or bars. This will help the lemon curd set further.
- Optional: Garnish (if desired): You can dust the bars with powdered sugar for a finishing touch, or add a bit of zest for extra lemony flavor.
Keep in mind that the quality of the lemon curd will significantly affect the taste of your bars. You can use store-bought lemon curd or make your own if you have the time and ingredients. Additionally, feel free to experiment with different types of crusts or add other ingredients to suit your taste preferences.
