Notes
Helpful Recipe Tips
- Fresh lemons or lemon juice, it does make a difference in flavor but I use the lemon juice in the store most times. And, I still enjoy the recipe at the end of the day without all the added hassle of hoping I get enough juice from the lemons I have, to avoid having to run back to the store to buy more.
- Try it crustless, I have made it crustless twice and I like it that way as well. Not to mention I can eat even more guilt free!
- When is it done, the keto lemon bars are done between 20-25 minutes but make sure when you pull them out the custard is set across the entire top, No runny or loose areas.
