Low Sugar Lemon Bars Recipes

SUGAR FREE LEMON BARS

Steps:

• Put all the ingredients for the base into a food processor and blitz until combined.
• Line a large rectangle loaf tin with baking paper/parchment paper with the paper coming an inch above the sides of the tin (so its easy to remove once cooked).
• Press into a baking tin lined with baking paper. I recommend using a rectangle loaf tin. (it might look like there is not enough dough but keep gently pushing it too the edges and it will be enough)
• Bake in preheated FAN oven at 160 degrees C [250 degrees F] for 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Set aside and make the filling.
• Add cornflour and cream to a bowl and whisk using a hand whisker until smooth and combined.
• Add in the eggs, sweetener and lemon juice and whisk until combined, but not frothy.
• Use a metal strainer to strain the lemon filling over the base.
• Put back in the oven for 35 minutes at 160 degrees C [320 degrees F]. (Once removed from the oven the lemon custard filling will continue to cook a little).
• Once cooked, remove from oven and let cool to room temperature for 30 minutes. Leave in the tin, cover with foil and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours.
• When it is cold, slice into 12 bars and store in an air tight container in the fridge. Bars will keep in the fridge for 4 to 5 days.
• To serve, dust a little powdered sweetener over.
