Creamy Lemon Bars recipe – 106 calories
Ingredients:
Crust
1 cup all-purpose flour
6 tablespoons cold butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons Splenda granular
1/8 teaspoon salt
Filling
1/2 cup half-and-half
4 large eggs
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups Splenda granular

Preparation:
1. To make the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray an 8×8-inch baking pan.
2. Combine the flour, salt and Splenda Granular in a food processor bowl. Pulse 2-3 times.
3. Add the butter. Pulse until the mixture resembles a coarse meal.
4. Press the mixture into the baking pan and bake until the crust is lightly browned (about 20 minutes).
5. While the crust is baking in the oven, whisk together the eggs and half-and-half in a medium bowl.
6. Gradually whisk in the flour, Splenda, lemon juice and lemon peel.
7. Pour this mixture over the hot crust and bake until the center is set and the edges are lightly browned (about 15 minutes).
8. Let cool completely on a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired.

Lemon is so refreshing–you could even lower the calorie count on these bars by replacing the butter with I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter FF Spread (5 calories/TBSP)!

Lemon is always one of the most refreshing tastes for desserts. And lemon bars have long been a popular dessert choice. But here we offer something a little different than the usual lemon bars. Give this recipe for Chewy Lemon Nut Bars a try. These bars have oats in the crust giving them their chewy texture and chopped pecans give crunch. A great combination for the creamy lemon center.
