Once the crust has cooled and the filling is ready, pour the lemon filling over the cooled crust, spreading it out evenly with a spatula to ensure it covers the crust completely. The filling should be smooth and creamy, with no lumps. Refrigerate the bars for at least 3-4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the filling to set and firm up. This will ensure the bars hold together when sliced and make for easier serving.
Serving Suggestions
Once the Lemon Cream Pie Bars have set, slice them into squares and serve. You can garnish the top with additional lemon zest, fresh berries, or a dusting of powdered sugar for extra elegance and flavor. These bars are perfect for summer gatherings, holiday events, or simply as a refreshing treat to enjoy anytime!
Make-Ahead & Storage
These bars can be made a day ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Be sure to cover the bars tightly with plastic wrap or store them in an airtight container to keep them fresh. The filling may soften over time, but they’ll still be delicious and creamy. If you need to store them for longer, you can freeze them for up to 1 month. To freeze, wrap the bars in plastic wrap and foil, then place them in a freezer-safe container. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving.
