These squares are so creamy delicious. They are sweet and tart, with a lovely shortbread crust.
I think you will enjoy these as much as we did! Great use of fresh lemons in the summertime.
CREAMY LEMON SLICES
Creamy lemon filling using my low-carb condensed milk and a
lovely shortbread crust. This dessert
lasted barely 24 hours in our house! You
may like these straight out of the refrigerator or set aside for 10 to 15 minutes
at room temperature for an even creamier texture. I definitely liked them both ways, so you will need to choose which texture you prefer.
