How to Make Creamy Lemon Bars
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking pan.
In a food processor, combine 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup Splenda granular, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Pulse 2-3 times until combined.
Add ½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 20 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
While the crust bakes, whisk together 3 large eggs and ½ cup half-and-half in a medium bowl.
Gradually whisk in ¾ cup Splenda granular and ¼ cup all-purpose flour until smooth.
Stir in the zest and juice of 2 large lemons.
Pour the lemon mixture evenly over the hot crust.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the filling is set and the edges are lightly browned.
Let the lemon bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before dusting with powdered sugar (optional).
Cut into 2-inch squares and enjoy!
