Notes
- Press Firmly for the Best Crust: The crust will be slightly crumbly, but it should hold together well when pressed. Press the crust evenly and firmly into the pan to create a sturdy base.
- Pre-Bake the Crust: Baking the crust before adding the lemon curd ensures it stays crisp and holds up under the filling. This step prevents a soggy bottom.
- Homemade Lemon Curd Tip: If making homemade lemon curd, let it cool slightly before spreading it onto the crust. This helps prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
- Chill for Best Results: These bars need at least 2 hours in the fridge before slicing. This helps the filling firm up and makes for cleaner cuts.
- Serving Ideas: A light dusting of powdered sugar, a sprinkle of lemon zest, or even thinly sliced lemons on top make for a beautiful presentation.
