It’s getting warmer…well, trying to at least. So that makes me want all things lemon. All of it, bring me all the citrus desserts. So good!
I hadn’t made anything for a few weeks so it was nice to get back into the kitchen during Leah’s nap time and make something yummy. So I thought, lemon bars. Yum. Lemon Cheesecake bars. Yummier. Plus I had a giant bag of lemons from Costco to use. I feel like this is how a lot of my baking and cooking goes. What did I get in bulk from Costco that I need to use before it goes bad. Next up, potatoes to use up so feel free to send potato recipes.
These are so incredibly good, sweet and slightly tart lemon flavor, super creamy cheesecake and a shortbread crust for a yummy way to bring it all together.

These are delicious! I love lemon too, and have a Meyer lemon tree, so I actually used the zest from 3 lemons for the crust, and I doubled the zest for the filling. Also, I found that 1 can of sweetened condensed milk (instead of 2) made the bars sweet enough for my liking. These bars were a hit at a dinner party!
