Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Mix the Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the lemon cake mix and lemon pie filling. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
- Spread in the Pan:
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
- Bake the Lemon Bars:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is set and slightly golden. Be careful not to overbake to keep the bars moist.
- Cool and Serve:
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan before slicing them into squares. For a finishing touch, you can dust them with powdered sugar or add a drizzle of lemon glaze.
Notes
Additional Tips and Notes
- Serving Ideas: For a polished presentation, garnish your 2-Ingredient Lemon Bars with a light dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of lemon glaze. You can also serve them with a side of fresh berries or a dollop of whipped cream for added flavor and texture.
- Enhancing the Lemon Flavor: If you love a more intense lemon flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of lemon zest to the batter. This will boost the citrusy taste without altering the simplicity of the recipe.
- Avoiding Stickiness: If you find that the bars are sticking to the knife when you slice them, try running the knife under hot water and wiping it clean between cuts. This will help you achieve clean, even slices.
