Classic Lemon Bars

For a twist on these classic lemon bars, try adding a teaspoon of lemon zest to the filling for an extra burst of citrus flavor. If you like a creamier texture, add a couple of tablespoons of heavy cream to the lemon filling. You can also substitute half of the lemon juice with lime or orange juice for a different citrus flavor profile. For those who enjoy a bit of crunch, sprinkle some finely chopped nuts like almonds or pecans into the crust before baking.
