Lemon Blueberry Bars (from here)
For the crust (You could easily buy a pre-made crust if you're short for time)
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- Zest of one lemon
For the filling
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 (14 ounce can) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8x8 inch baking dish with cooking spray. Set aside.
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 (14 ounce can) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8x8 inch baking dish with cooking spray. Set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter,
sugar, and lemon zest. Stir until graham cracker crumbs are moist. Press
crumbs firmly into the bottom and slightly up the sides of prepared
pan. Bake the graham cracker crust for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and
allow to cool to room temperature.
3. To make the filling, combine the egg yolks and condensed milk in a
medium bowl. Stir in the lemon juice and lemon zest. Stir until mixture
is smooth and begins to slightly thicken. Gently fold in the 3/4 of the
blueberries, reserving some for the top. Honestly, I forgot to save some for the top and dumped them all in the mixture. It doesn't really make a difference except it would've looked prettier with some on top.
4. Pour the lemon blueberry filling evenly over the graham cracker crust
then top with the remaining blueberries. Bake for 15 minutes, or until
just set.
5. Cool for 10 minutes at room temperature, then refrigerate until completely chilled. Cut into bars and serve.
