Refreshing… tangy… easy… no bake Frozen Lemon Bars. Today, I’ve got a real treat for you – a recipe that’s not only a breeze to make but also packs a tangy punch of flavor. Get ready to tantalize your taste buds with our delightful Frozen Lemon Bars!

Imagine a creamy lemon filling atop a buttery graham cracker crust, all perfectly chilled and ready to melt in your mouth. Now, picture making this indulgence without even turning on your oven. Yes, you read that right – these lemon bars are entirely no-bake, with the lemony goodness whipped up effortlessly in the microwave.

Ingredients

• graham crackers
• butter
• sugar
• eggs
• lemon juice
• lemon zest

Prepare the Crust

• In a food processor, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until well mixed.
• Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9×9-inch square baking dish lined with parchment paper. Use the back of a spoon or a flat-bottomed glass to firmly pack the crust.
• Place the crust in the refrigerator while you prepare the lemon filling.

Make the Lemon Filling

• In a microwave-safe bowl, whisk together the sugar and eggs. Add the lemon juice, lemon zest, and butter mixing until smooth and well combined.
• Microwave the mixture in 1-minute intervals, stirring between each interval, until it thickens slightly. This should take about 5 minutes in total. Be sure not to overcook it – we want a silky smooth consistency.
• Once the filling is ready, pour it over the chilled graham cracker crust, spreading it out evenly.

Freeze and Serve

• Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer for at least 3 hours, or until the bars are firm.
• Once frozen, remove the bars from the freezer and let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly.
• Use a sharp knife to cut the bars into squares or rectangles, depending on your preference.
• Serve these chilled delights straight from the freezer, garnished with a sprinkle of powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
