Notes

  • You'll need about 3 lemons for the zest and juice for the brownies and glaze.
  • Counter: Place the brownies in an airtight container and store them on the counter for up to 3 days.
  • Refrigerator: Place the brownies in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to 6 days. Enjoy chilled or bring to room temperature before serving.
  • Freezer: It’s best to freeze the brownies before adding the glaze. The glaze is best made fresh. You can freeze the unglazed brownies in an airtight container for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight on the counter or in the fridge before serving.
