Creamy Lemon Squares Recipe

2. Make the Lemon Filling

• In a separate bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk and egg yolks until smooth.
• Stir in the fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract.

3. Bake It All Together

• Pour the filling over the warm crust.
• Bake for another 15–20 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.

4. Cool and Chill

• Let the lemon squares cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before cutting.

5. Serve & Enjoy

• Dust with powdered sugar for an elegant touch.
• Cut into squares and serve chilled or at room temperature.

💡 Tips for Perfect Lemon Squares

• Use fresh lemon juice and zest for the brightest flavor.
• Don’t overbake — the filling should be just set, not firm.
• For an extra zing, add a splash of lemon extract.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
