Tips:

  • For a perfectly smooth lemon curd, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve before pouring it onto the crust.
  • If you don't have a lemon zester, you can use a microplane grater to zest the lemons.
  • To make the lemon bars extra lemony, add 1 tablespoon of lemon extract to the lemon curd.
  • For a more intense lemon flavor, use Meyer lemons instead of regular lemons.
  • If you want a thicker lemon curd, cook it over medium heat until it has thickened to your desired consistency.
  • For a gluten-free version of these lemon bars, use a gluten-free crust mix or make your own gluten-free crust.
