Creamy Lemon Squares

A Tangy, Sweet, and Velvety Dessert

They’re easy to prepare, make-ahead friendly, and guaranteed to brighten any gathering, from casual tea time to festive celebrations.


Ingredients You’ll Need

For a standard 8×8 or 9×9-inch pan:

For the Crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 12 full sheets)
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

For the Creamy Lemon Filling:

  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2–3 lemons)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest (finely grated)
  • 2 large egg yolks

For Garnish (optional):

  • Powdered sugar for dusting
  • Thin lemon slices or zest curls

Step-by-Step Method

Step 1: Prep Your Baking Dish

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Line your baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang on the sides. This makes it easier to lift the bars out after baking.

Step 2: Make the Buttery Crust

  • In a mixing bowl, stir together graham cracker crumbs and sugar.
  • Pour in the melted butter and mix until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
  • Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan, creating an even crust layer.
  • Bake for 8–10 minutes, just until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside while preparing the filling.
