For a more intense lemon flavor, add the zest of one lemon to the filling. Ensure the butter is properly softened to allow it to combine well with the graham cracker crumbs for the crust. To prevent the crust from burning, you can partially blind bake it by covering it with parchment paper and pie weights (or dried beans) for the first 10 minutes. Cooling the bars completely before cutting is essential to prevent a gooey mess.

Apr 8, 2024My filling was a little runny, but I think I just needed to bake it a little longer. Still tasted great!
