How to Make Frozen Lemon Squares
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs, ½ cup granulated sugar, and ½ cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter. Mix until evenly moistened.
- Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8x8 inch or 9x9 inch baking pan.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large egg yolks, 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, ½ cup fresh lemon juice, and a few drops of yellow food coloring (optional).
- Pour the lemon mixture evenly over the graham cracker crust.
- Bake for 30 minutes, or until the filling is set around the edges and lightly golden.
- Let the lemon bars cool completely on a wire rack.
- Once cooled, top with whipped cream (approximately 1 cup).
- Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
- Let the bars stand at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving to soften slightly.
- Garnish with fresh lemon zest, berries, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar, as desired.
