How to Make Freezable Lemon Squares
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs, ½ cup granulated sugar, and ½ cup (1 stick) melted unsalted margarine. Mix until evenly moistened.
- Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8-inch square baking pan.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 2 large egg yolks, 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, and ½ cup fresh lemon juice until smooth and well combined.
- Pour the lemon filling evenly over the crumb crust.
- Bake for 18 minutes, or until the filling is set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- Let the lemon squares cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
- Once cooled, top with your favorite whipped topping (about 1 cup).
- Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
- Let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving to allow for easy slicing.
- Garnish with lemon zest before serving.
- Store leftover lemon squares in an airtight container in the freezer. They can also be chilled (without the whipped topping) if you plan to serve them within a few days.
