Creamy Lemon Crumb Bars
Creamy Lemon Crumb Bars feature a crumbly oat and flour crust topped with a tangy lemon custard filling made from sweetened condensed milk, lemon zest, juice, and egg yolks. The baking process creates a set, creamy interior contrasted by a buttery crumb topping. Served chilled, these bars offer a balanced sweet and citrus flavor with a pleasing texture combination.
