Ingredients:
For the Filling:
– 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
– 2 egg yolks
– 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
For the Crust:
– 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
– 1/4 cup sugar
– 4 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan with butter or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Prepare the crust: In a bowl, combine melted butter, graham cracker crumbs, and sugar. Mix well until the mixture resembles wet sand.
3. Form the crust: Press the crust mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to create an even layer. Bake for about 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Let cool for 30 minutes.
4. Make the filling: In another bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sweetened condensed milk until well combined.
5. Add the lemon juice: Gradually add the fresh lemon juice to the egg yolk mixture, stirring until smooth and creamy.
6. Assemble the squares: Pour the lemon filling over the cooled crust in the baking pan, spreading it evenly.
7. Bake again: Bake for another 15 minutes until set. Remove and cool for at least 1 hour until fully set.
8. Cut and serve: Once chilled, carefully remove the lemon squares from the pan using the parchment paper (if using), and cut them into squares.
