How to Make Lemon Lime Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 13x9x2-inch baking pan.
- Line the pan with parchment paper, ensuring it extends up the sides.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1/4 cup cornstarch, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- Bake for 15 minutes.
- While the crust is baking, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, 1 cup half-and-half, and 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour in a medium bowl.
- Divide the egg mixture in half.
- In one bowl, stir in the zest and juice of 2 lemons.
- In the other bowl, stir in the zest and juice of 2 limes and a few drops of green food coloring (optional).
- Remove the crust from the oven and carefully pour the lemon filling evenly over the hot crust.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the filling is just set.
- Carefully pour the lime filling over the lemon filling.
- Bake for another 10-12 minutes, or until the lime filling is set.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
- Lift the bars from the pan using the parchment paper overhang.
- Cut into bars and sift powdered sugar over the top.
- Garnish with extra lemon and lime zest, if desired.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. Makes approximately 32 bars.
