Steps:
- For the crust: Line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, allowing for a 2-inch overhang on the sides.
- Place the cookies in a resealable plastic bag. Seal and use a rolling pin or meat mallet to crush the cookies into fine crumbs. Pour into a bowl and add the granulated sugar, lemon zest and salt. Pour the melted butter into the bowl and mix thoroughly with a rubber spatula. Firmly press the crumb mixture into the baking dish in an even layer. Place in the freezer while you make the filling.
- For the filling: Beat the heavy cream in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
- Beat the cream cheese, vanilla and lemon zest and juice in a bowl until fluffy and light, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the confectioners' sugar and sour cream. Beat until just combined, making sure there are no lumps. Fold in the whipped cream. Remove the crust from the freezer. Pour the mixture over the crust and spread in an even layer. Place in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours and up to overnight.
- Use the parchment overhang to lift the bars out of the baking dish. When ready to serve, arrange the strawberries on top and sprinkle some lemon zest over the top. Slice into squares and serve chilled.

Nothing brings a recipe to life like fresh lemons! For a change of pace from the standard Southern-style lemon bars, you need to look no further! This recipe is easy and the taste is divine. I have also made this with Splenda® and low-fat cream cheese and they were just as wonderful.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, powdered sugar, salt, and cold cubed butter.
- Using two forks, mash butter into the dry ingredients until it is fully incorporated.
- Line a 9x13 inch (22 x 33 cm) baking dish with parchment paper and coat with a non-stick spray. Pour the mixture into the pan and pack it down firmly, allowing for some to come about ½ inch (1 ¼ cm) up the sides of the pan.
- Refrigerate the crust for 30 minutes, then bake for 20-25 minutes or until it develops a light golden brown color.
- Allow the crust to cool while you prepare the filling & reduce the oven temperature to 325˚F (160˚C).
- In another large bowl, combine the eggs, sugar, and flour. In a blender, blend strawberries, lemon zest, lemon juice, and milk until well combined.
- Pour the blended mixture into the egg mixture and stir well. Pour the filling over the partially baked crust and immediately put the pan into the oven.
- Bake at 325˚F (160˚C) for 45 minutes, or until it doesn't jiggle when you shake the pan (times and temperatures may vary). Allow to cool for 30-45 minutes and remove from pan. Cut into 24 even squares & sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before starting, measure and prepare all ingredients. This will ensure that everything is ready when you need it and prevent any scrambling.
- Quality Ingredients: Use the best quality ingredients you can find. Fresh, ripe strawberries and a good quality cream cheese will make a big difference in the final product.
- Properly Prepare the Pan: Line the baking pan with parchment paper or grease it well. This will prevent the bars from sticking and make them easier to remove.
- Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough before rolling it out will make it easier to work with and less likely to stick to your hands.
- Roll out the Dough Evenly: When rolling out the dough, use a rolling pin that is slightly larger than the baking pan. This will help to ensure that the dough is evenly rolled out and fits perfectly in the pan.
- Don't Overmix the Filling: When mixing the filling, stir until just combined. Overmixing will make the filling tough.
- Bake Until Golden Brown: Bake the bars until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. This will ensure that the bars are cooked through and have a nice flavor.
- Let Them Cool Completely: Before slicing and serving the bars, let them cool completely. This will allow the filling to firm up and make the bars easier to cut.
