Time 3h30m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons lemon zest
⅛ teaspoon salt
¼ cup unsalted butter, cut into chunks
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup chopped fresh strawberries
1 ⅓ cups white sugar
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup lemon juice
4 large eggs
⅛ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Combine flour, powdered sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest, and salt for crust in the bowl of a food processor; pulse to combine. Add butter and oil and pulse until incorporated and crumbly. Press into an 8-inch square baking dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
  • While crust is baking, place berries into the food processor and process until smooth. Strain mixture to remove seeds, then transfer berry puree to a bowl with white sugar, flour, lemon juice, eggs, and salt. Whisk to combine.
  • Remove crust from the oven and immediately pour filling mixture over top. Return to the oven and bake until filling is just set, about 20 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool completely, about 30 minutes. Place in the refrigerator until chilled, about 2 hours. Dust with powdered sugar and cut into 16 bars.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but these bars were inedible. I'm going to have to try a different recipe.

These bars were a complete disaster! The crust was too dry, the filling was too runny, and the glaze was too thick.

I had some trouble getting the bars to set properly. I think I might have overcooked them.

The crust was a bit too crumbly for my liking. I think I'll try using a different recipe next time.

These bars are a bit too sweet for my taste. I might try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of lemon desserts, but I really enjoyed these bars. The strawberry filling is so good that it balances out the tartness of the lemon.

The lemon glaze adds a nice tartness to the bars. It's the perfect finishing touch.

The strawberry filling is bursting with flavor. I used fresh strawberries from my garden, and they were perfect.

The crust is the perfect balance of buttery and crumbly.
