Creamy Lemon Squares Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
• 2 egg yolks
• 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice

For the crust:

• 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 4 tablespoons melted and cooled butter

Preparation:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare an 8×8-inch baking dish by greasing it with butter or lining it with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
3. Press the crust mixture evenly and firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Bake for approximately 10 minutes or until it turns a light golden brown. Allow the crust to cool for about 30 minutes.
4. For the filling, whisk the egg yolks and sweetened condensed milk together in a separate bowl until thoroughly combined.
5. Gradually add the fresh lemon juice while stirring continuously until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
6. Pour the lemon filling over the cooled crust, spreading it evenly.
7. Bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the filling is set. After baking, let it cool and set for at least 1 hour.
8. If using parchment paper, lift the lemon squares out of the baking dish and slice them into desired portions.
