Steps:
- To make crust, combine flour and sugar in small bowl. In another small bowl, microwave butter until melted. Work melted butter into flour and sugar mixture until well blended and crumbly. Press mixture into bottom of microwave safe baking dish, 8" round is what I use. Microwave for 4 minutes. Set crust aside.
- To make filling, combine eggs and sugar, beat until fluffy. Add all remaining ingredients, beat slowly until cornstarch is well dissolved, about 1 full minute. Do not overmix.
- Pour this mixture over baked crust. Cook on high 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 minutes, just until center begins to set. Remove and let chill in refrigerator. Before cutting, dust with powdered sugar. I cut mine into small 1 1/2" bites, place each bite in a paper or foil baking cup as they are quite rich. Enjoy!
Tips:
- For a gooey center, use full-fat cream cheese and butter.
- To prevent the crust from getting soggy, pre-bake it for 5-7 minutes before adding the filling.
- For a crispy crust, use a combination of graham cracker crumbs and butter.
- Be sure to chill the bars for at least 3 hours before serving, this will help them set properly.
- For a more intense lemon flavor, use freshly squeezed lemon juice and lemon zest.
- If you don't have a lemon, you can substitute lime or orange juice.
- For a sweeter bar, add an extra 1/2 cup of sugar to the filling.
- For a more tart bar, add an extra 1/4 cup of lemon juice to the filling.
- To make a gluten-free version of these bars, use a gluten-free graham cracker crust.
- To make a dairy-free version of these bars, use vegan cream cheese and butter.
