SUNSHINE "LEMON BARS" RECIPE - (4.6/5)



Sunshine

Provided by Foodiewife

Number Of Ingredients 11

CRUST:
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup flour
1/4 cup powdered sugar
FILLING:
Zest of 1 lemon
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 eggs, beaten

Steps:

  • Note: I like to double the ingredients, and bake this in a 9x13 baking pan; otherwise use an 8" square baking pan. Prepare your baking pan with non-stick spray. I like to make a parchment paper "sling", which I clamp down with small metal binder clips (great tip). Crust: Mix butter, flour and powdered sugar until fine and crumbly, pat into bottom of a 9 inch square pan. (Tip: I pulse the crust ingredients in my food processor, which makes the job quick and easy.) Bake at 350°F for 15 minutes. Filling: Sift the sugar, flour and baking powder. Mix the lemon juice, grated peel, sugar, flour, baking powder and eggs and pour over the baked crust. Place in a 350°F oven and bake for 25 minutes. Allow to cool for at least 30 minutes. If using a sling, lift out of the pan and cut the bars into about 24 cookies. Dust with powdered sugar and serve. Store in an airtight container.

Categories     Desserts     Cookies     International Cookie Recipes     Canadian Cookie Recipes

Time 2h20m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 15

½ cup butter
¼ cup white sugar
5 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
1 cup shredded coconut
½ cup chopped walnuts
⅓ cup butter at room temperature
3 tablespoons custard powder (such as Bird's® Custard Powder)
¼ cup milk
3 cups confectioners' sugar
¼ cup blackberries
12 (1 ounce) squares semisweet chocolate
2 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • Melt 1/2 cup of butter in a saucepan over low heat, and stir in the sugar and cocoa powder until the mixture is smooth. Whisk in egg and vanilla extract, remove from heat, and stir in the graham cracker crumbs, coconut, and walnuts until well combined. Press the mixture into a 9x9-inch square pan, and refrigerate until cold, about 1 hour.
  • Place 1/3 cup of room temperature butter into a mixing bowl, and stir custard powder and milk into the butter to make a smooth, creamy mixture. Stir in confectioners' sugar, about 1 cup at a time, until the mixture is very smooth, with no lumps. Lightly stir in the blackberries. Spread the filling on the chilled crust in an even layer, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set up.
  • Melt chocolate and 2 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan over very low heat, stirring until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat, and pour over the filling layer, spreading the topping over the filling to cover completely. Return to refrigerator, and allow to set until firm, at least 30 minutes. To cut, dip a very sharp knife into boiling water, and cut into squares with the hot knife.
