Two-Ingredient Lemon Bars

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Prep the Base:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Unroll the crescent dough and press it into a 9×13-inch baking pan, forming an even layer.
  3. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until lightly golden.

2. Make the Lemon Layer:

  1. In a bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk and lemon juice until smooth and slightly thickened.
  2. Pour the lemon mixture over the baked crescent crust.

3. Bake Again:

  • Return to the oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, until the lemon layer is set but still soft in the center.

4. Cool and Serve:

  • Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours.
  • Slice into bars and dust with powdered sugar before serving (optional).

💛 Ashley’s Tips:

  • For extra zing, add lemon zest to the filling.
  • These bars keep well in the fridge for 3–4 days, but honestly, they rarely last that long!
  • For a gluten-free version, try using a gluten-free crescent dough.

If you want, I can also give you a no-bake lemon bar version that’s just as tangy and creamy but even faster — ready in 10 minutes!
