Ingredients
- Ingredients
Lemon Bars:
- 1/2 cup Unsalted butter softened (113g)
- 1 cup Granulated sugar 200g
- 1 1/2 Tbsp Lemon zest
- 2 Eggs room temperature
- 3 Tbsp Lemon juice
- 2 tsp Vanilla
- 1 1/4 cups All-purpose flour 150g
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/2 cup Blueberries 75g + 1 Tbsp flour for tossing
- 1/2 cup White chocolate chips 90g
Lemon Icing:
- 1 1/4 cups Powdered sugar 141g
- 2-3 Tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 tsp Lemon zest
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F and line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper.
- Sugar & Zest: Rub the lemon zest into the granulated sugar with your fingertips until it smells fragrant and looks like wet sand.
- Cream: Beat the butter into the sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the eggs one at a time, followed by the lemon juice and vanilla.
- Fold: Gently stir in the flour and salt. Toss blueberries in 1 Tbsp flour, then fold them and the white chocolate chips into the batter.
- Bake: Spread batter in the pan. Top with extra berries/chips. Bake for 25–28 minutes until the top is matte and the center is set.
- Icing: Cool completely. Whisk powdered sugar, lemon juice, and zest. Pour over bars and let set for 20 minutes before slicing.
Notes
- Don't Overmix: Once the flour is in, be gentle so the bars stay soft and fudgy.
- Tossing Berries: The flour coating on the blueberries prevents them from sinking to the bottom.
- Storage: Keep in the fridge for a refreshing, cold treat that stays moist for days.
