Absolutely delightful!
I thought this recipe was marvelous! I made it as one of our Thanksgiving desserts and it was a big hit. I had a lemon square recipe from years ago and lost it. This Lemon Square recipe has taken it place.
I add 2 Tbsp of fresh grated lemon zest..makes a great flavor even better. Enjoy
As a Yankee at heart who lives in and loves Naples, Forida, I decided to make this recipe, substituting key lime juice in equal amounts for lemon juice. It was terrific! Everyone loved them at a party I catered in Naples. I used a bottled key lime juice and then put them on a platter with fresh blackberries and they tasted and looked great.
Great recipe. Big hit.
The crust is too greasy, and the filling is too sweet, you can’t taste much of the lemon.
