How to Make Strawberry Lemon Slices

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the longer sides for easy removal.
  2. **Crust:** In a food processor, combine 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup powdered sugar, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Pulse until blended.
  3. Add 1 cup (2 sticks) cold, cubed unsalted butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs (about 15 seconds).
  4. Transfer the crumb mixture to the prepared pan and press it firmly into the bottom.
  5. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  6. **Filling:** While the crust is baking, whisk together 3 large eggs in a large bowl until light and frothy.
  7. Gradually whisk in 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk until fully incorporated.
  8. Stir in the zest and juice of 2 large lemons.
  9. Spread ½ cup of your favorite strawberry jam evenly over the hot crust.
  10. Pour the lemon filling over the jam layer.
  11. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the center of the filling is set. The edges may be slightly puffed.
  12. Let the dessert cool completely in the pan before refrigerating for at least 2 hours.
  13. Once chilled, lift the dessert out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang as handles.
  14. Cut into 36 squares or bars.
  15. Garnish each slice with a fanned strawberry half (partially slice a strawberry, but not all the way through, to create a fan effect).
