MAKEOVER FROSTY LEMON SQUARES
This dessert has a lemony filling sandwiched between two creamy layers and a crunchy crust. What's not to love? Simple changes in the original recipe subtracted a lot of the calories and saturated fat, but left a ton of great lemon flavor and a rich cream cheese layer. -Taste of Home Test Kitchen

Steps:
- For the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9 by 13-inch baking sheet (otherwise known as a quarter sheet pan) with some cooking spray.
- In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment (or you can use a food processor), cream your butter with the sugar and almond extract until light and fluffy. Whisk the flour and salt in a small bowl, making sure there are no lumps. Turn the mixer speed to low, add the flour into your butter and mix until just incorporated. (Make sure not to over-mix.) Turn the dough onto the baking sheet, flour your hands and press it out evenly on the bottom and up the sides. Pop in the fridge for an hour (or overnight) to chill.
- Pop the crust in the oven and bake until a light golden brown, about 20 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack.
- For the filling: While the crust is cooling, make your filling. Crack your eggs into a large bowl and add the sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice and flour. Whisk until combined. Pour into the crust and spread evenly. Put back in the oven and bake until the filling is completely set, about 30 minutes. Let cool to room temperature before serving.
- Dust with confectioners' sugar and then cut into 20 to 24 squares to serve. Garnish with raspberries, if desired.

FLUFFY LEMON SQUARES
A few handy convenience items hurry along the prep for these creamy bars with a vanilla wafer crust. They get their sweet-tart flavor from lemon gelatin, sherbet and pudding mix. They're not only fun to make with my grandchildren, but they're delicious, too. -Joyce Speerbrecher, Grafton, Wisconsin

FROSTY STRAWBERRY SQUARES
This is a recipe my mother has made for years. She always likes to tell people this dessert was served at John Steinbeck's house. It is a very light and refreshing treat after a heavy meal or on a warm summer night. The crust is cooked, but the top is frozen so it tastes similar to strawberry ice cream. This dessert needs to be frozen for at least six hours, so plan accordingly.

- Heat the oven to 350°F. In a microwave-safe bowl heat the butter until just melted, 1 minute or so, depending on the strength of your microwave. (Don't melt it until it's oil, stop when there's a hunk of semi-solid butter at the center. It will melt as you make the dough.) Add almond flour, sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Using a rubber spatula, stir to combined and solid. (The shortbread dough will feel like Play-doh.)
- Press the dough into a 9-inch cake pan or 8-inch square. Prick all over with the tines of a fork. Transfer to oven and bake until browned and set, about 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, IN THE SAME BOWL combine the sugar, cornstarch, salt, eggs, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Whisk to combine and make sure to stir until any and all clumps of cornstarch are incorporated. (You can use a whisk or a handheld mixer.) Pour into the still-warm crust.
- Bake until set and it starts to pull away from the sides of the pan, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove to let cool for several hours uncovered. Shake over Confectioner’s Sugar to garnish.
