* Super crumbly but yummy and delicious.
these look delicious! I love lemon squares 🙂
Thank you very much. You should try them out. They are quite different then your normal lemon bars. The cream cheese adds a softer and flavorful filling. 🙂
These look great. 🙂

Hi Athina,
My favorite fruit, lemons! 🙂
Alright, perfect timing, still have lots of lemons! Was thinking of lemon curd, but I think this one takes it to another level. Thanks, Krystina! XOXO, Angie.
