Strawberry Lemonade Bars Recipes

STRAWBERRY LEMONADE BARS

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish with foil leaving a 2-inch overhang on two sides. Grease the foil and dish with 1 tablespoon of the butter.
• For the crust: Combine the flour, butter, sugar cornstarch and salt in a food processor and pulse until the dough comes together, about 1 minute. Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the pan. Bake until the crust is golden at the edges, pale golden in the center, and firm, about 30 minutes. Transfer to a wire cooling rack.
• Reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees F. For the filling: Wipe out the food processor bowl and pulse the freeze-dried strawberries into a powder; reserve. Whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, sugar, and flour in a medium bowl until smooth. Whisk in the lemon juice, strawberry powder and melted butter.
• Pour the filling over the warm crust and return to the oven. Bake until the filling is just set, 30 to 35 minutes.
• Cool the lemon bars on a wire rack, 30 minutes. Use the foil to lift the bars from the pan and place on a baking sheet. Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour. Peel the foil off the bars, trim the edges and cut into 24 bars. Dust with confectioners' sugar and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking pan (or use the Baker's Edge pan, if you have one).
• Begin by making the crust.
• In a large bowl, cream together 1/4c sugar and 1/2c butter, until smooth and fluffy. Working at a low speed, gradually beat in 1 1/2c flour and 1/4t salt until mixture is crumbly. Pour into prepared pan and press into an even layer. Bake for about 17 minutes, until set at the edges.
• While the crust bakes, prepare the filling.
• In the bowl of a food processor, combine lemon juice, lemon zest, strawberry puree, sugar and eggs and process until smooth. Add in flour, baking powder and salt, then pulse until smooth.
• Gently pour the filling over the hot crust when it has finished baking. Return pan to oven and bake for 23-26 minutes, until the filling is set (There will be a light colored "crust" on top from the sugar in the custard - nothing to worry about).
• Cool completely before slicing and use a damp knife to ensure clean slices.
• Store bars in the refrigerator, especially on a hot day.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, powdered sugar, salt, and cold cubed butter.
• Using two forks, mash butter into the dry ingredients until it is fully incorporated.
• Line a 9x13 inch (22 x 33 cm) baking dish with parchment paper and coat with a non-stick spray. Pour the mixture into the pan and pack it down firmly, allowing for some to come about ½ inch (1 ¼ cm) up the sides of the pan.
• Refrigerate the crust for 30 minutes, then bake for 20-25 minutes or until it develops a light golden brown color.
• Allow the crust to cool while you prepare the filling & reduce the oven temperature to 325˚F (160˚C).
• In another large bowl, combine the eggs, sugar, and flour. In a blender, blend strawberries, lemon zest, lemon juice, and milk until well combined.
• Pour the blended mixture into the egg mixture and stir well. Pour the filling over the partially baked crust and immediately put the pan into the oven.
• Bake at 325˚F (160˚C) for 45 minutes, or until it doesn't jiggle when you shake the pan (times and temperatures may vary). Allow to cool for 30-45 minutes and remove from pan. Cut into 24 even squares & sprinkle with powdered sugar.
• Enjoy!

STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE LEMON BARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a 9x13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
• Beat together cake mix, lemonade, and butter until a soft dough forms. Press half the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
• Beat together cream cheese and sugar in a bowl until creamy. Add egg and beat again. Spread cheesecake over the dough in the pan.
• Place strawberry preserves in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave until melted, about 30 seconds. Drop by small spoonfuls all over the top of the cheesecake layer. Drag a knife very carefully through the cheesecake to swirl in the strawberry preserves.
• Take a small piece of the remaining dough and press it flat in the palm of your hand. Rip the dough into pieces and scatter over the cheesecake, covering as much of the surface as you can.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack for 2 hours. Refrigerate until completely chilled, about 4 hours to overnight.
• Stir the confectioners' sugar and lemon juice together in a bowl. Drizzle mixture over the chilled cheesecake and top with sprinkles. Let icing set, about 15 minutes. Cut into 24 bars.

STRAWBERRY LEMONADE

Steps:

• Tip the sugar and 1 litre water into a saucepan over a medium heat and heat, stirring, until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat and leave to cool completely.
• Put the strawberries in a blender and blitz to a purée. You can strain this through a fine mesh sieve to remove any seeds, if you prefer. Tip the strawberry purée into a large jug with the sugar water and lemon juice, and stir to combine. Pour into glasses filled with ice and serve garnished with whole strawberries, if you like. Will keep chilled for a day.
