Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 can (14 oz) Sweetened Condensed Milk
  • 1/2 cup Freshly squeezed Lemon Juice (about 2–3 lemons)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Your Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a small baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal later.
  2. Mix Ingredients Together: In a mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Stir until you have a smooth, creamy mixture with a slightly thick texture.
  3. Pour Into Pan: Pour the lemon mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out so the layer is uniform.
  4. Bake: Bake for about 15-18 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden and the center has set but still jiggles slightly.
  5. Cool and Chill: Allow the bars to cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least two hours. This helps the bars firm up to the perfect consistency for slicing.
  6. Slice and Serve: Once chilled, slice into squares or rectangles and enjoy your zesty, sweet 2-Ingredient Lemon Bars!

Notes

  • Fresh is Best: Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the brightest flavor and natural zestiness.
  • Don’t Overbake: The bars should remain slightly jiggly in the center for a creamy texture once chilled.
  • Chill Properly: Refrigerate fully before slicing to ensure clean cuts and neat bars.
  • Use a Sharp Knife: For perfect edges, wipe your knife clean between cuts.
  • Adjust Sweetness: If you prefer sweeter bars, drizzle a little honey on top after baking.
