Lemon Blueberry Bars
Lemon Blueberry Bars have a crisp graham cracker crust infused with lemon zest, topped with a creamy, tangy filling of egg yolks, sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Fresh blueberries add bursts of juiciness throughout the set custard-like filling. This chilled dessert balances sweet and tart flavors with a tender, sliceable texture.
