I just read your Comment Guidelines and respectfully apologize for leaving my url in my comment. I just wanted to express my gratitude. These bars are delicious and I am still enjoying them since they freeze so well. A bar a day, and boy, do I look forward to them:-).

I followed your directions to the letter, and ended up with perfect lemon bars. Buttery shortbread bottom, and a lemon filling with the ideal texture. My southern grandmother would be so proud, and my co-workers loved them:-) Thanks for another amazing recipe!

They should freeze either way, just make sure they are well-wrapped.

Can I freeze these? Disassembled in parts maybe?

I’ve never made lemon bars before and decided to try this recipe. They were the ABSOLUTE BEST I’ve ever ever ever had! Thanks so much for posting this! It was so simple too! I don’t think I’ll ever buy another lemon bar again. My daughter who isn’t a huge fan of lemon bars even loved them! Thanks again! :)

I just took this out of the oven and also has a cakey looking top. I was afraid I over whisked… Right now, I’m waiting for the tray to cool before digging in and trying it out.

Hi Deb,

I made these last night, half portion and it turned out great! My husband who is not a lemon person was impressed. I liked the thinner lemon layer.

I do have a question. A thin layer of “crust” formed on top of the lemon layer. It made it look like a cake. Fortunately, the flavor was not affected. Could it be because there were too much bubbles in my mix?

Thanks,
Charlotte

So I needed a great dessert to take to our monthly dinner club (10 friends, 1 house, various babies & animals, and always a theme). The theme was ‘Welcome Summer’, with clams, mussels & crabs, corn on the cob, summer salad and seabreezes for those who were alcoholically inclined (that would be all of us save the 2 pregnant ones). These lemon bars were PERFECT – sunny, slightly sour, chewy & tasted like biting into a fresh lemon! I made them using the thicker version and while I did have some crust challenges but with a little creativity, all was well. (I also made a fresh raspberry sauce to pour on the base of the plate) And best of all, the raves and compliments were almost never-ending and every one of us cleaned our plates within about 6 minutes…I think that qualifies as an unparalleled success!
