This week's Craving Ellie in My Belly was chosen by Amy of Playing House. She chose for us to make the No Bake Lemon Bars from So Easy: Luscious, Healthy Recipes for Every Meal of the Week by Ellie Krieger. I love anything lemon, and this recipe looked easy and quick, so I was looking forward to trying this recipe.
I really liked the flavor of these bars, they were creamy and tart. I had added the zest of the whole lemon, not just a teaspoon to amp up the lemon flavor, and I am glad that I did. My only complaint is that even though these are "No bake" lemon bars, I would suggest baking the crust to get it to set up more. My crust was very crumbly, and it kind of fell apart when I was removing the bars from the pan. Other than that, this was an easy, tasty treat!

So glad you liked them, Sarah! I had some issues with crumbly crust too, so I just sprinkled some on top of the bars like it was supposed to be there :) Happy New Year!
These WERE good. And so easy. Yours look yummy!!
Super recipe wasn't it? Looks so good and I KNOW it tastes great.
I didn't get to make these, but I'll have to remember that bit of advice about the crust and the extra lemon zest. Too much lemon is never enough!
I agree with you on the crust. Looks good!
