Ingredients

SHORTBREAD CRUST:

LEMON FILLING:

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

FOR THE CRUST:

  • Mix ingredients together very well. With your hands press dough evenly into an 8x8 dish lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. It will brown but still jiggle a little in the middle.
  • Let cool for 5-10 minutes or until it no longer jiggles. 

FILLING:

  • While the crust cools mix together the filling ingredients until it's nice and smooth.
  • Add lemon filling on top of the baked shortbread crust and put in a 350 degree oven for 40 minutes. Cool for 20 minutes and put in the fridge for a least 2 hours.
  • You can sprinkle confectioners sugar on top if you wish.
