How to Make True Lemon Cheese Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 oz) lemon cake mix, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, and 1 large egg.
- Beat with an electric mixer for 2 minutes, until the mixture is crumbly.
- Reserve 1 cup of the crumbly mixture for topping.
- Press the remaining mixture into a greased 13x9 inch glass baking dish.
- Bake the crust for 13-15 minutes, until lightly golden. Remove from oven and set aside to cool slightly.
- While the crust is baking, prepare the filling: In a blender, combine 8 oz cream cheese (softened), 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup lemon juice, and 1 large egg.
- Blend on low speed until smooth and creamy.
- Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the cooled crust.
- Sprinkle the reserved crumb mixture evenly over the filling.
- Bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the topping is lightly golden brown and the filling is set.
- Let cool completely in the baking dish before cutting into 24 bars.
