Ono Lemon Bars

This is not an ordinary Lemon Bar. There is a thin layer of cream cheese in the middle...Ono...YUMMY! It is so easy to make and no electric mixer needed.

You will need...
  • 2 cups Flour
  • 1 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 pkg. of Cream Cheese (8 oz.), soften
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 4 Tbsp. flour
  • 6 Tbsp. Lemon juice
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • pinch of salt
Powdered sugar for dusting to decorate the bars

Make it...
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9x13 pan with no-stick cooking oil.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, mix 2 cups flour, 1 cup butter and 1/2 cup powdered sugar with a whisker or fork. Spread in the greased pan with a off set spatula. Bake for 20 minutes.
  3. Cut the softened cream cheese into cubes, spread over the hot crust. Place in the oven for 2 minutes to soften more, then spread evenly over the crust.
  4. While the crust is baking in the oven, use a medium mixing bowl, mix the rest of the ingredients (except the powered sugar) with a whisker until mix well.
  5. Pour the batter over the cream cheese crust. Bake 30 minutes. Cool. Place in the freezer for an hour before slicing.
It may be topped with Strawberry preserve and powdered sugar for decoration.
If you don't have cream cheese at home, you may skip step 3 and just make the plain but yummy lemon bars. They will melt in your mouth!
