With a light and tart lemon filling and a decadently buttery and sweet crust, these keto-approved lemon bars are only made from 5 ingredients (most of which you can already find at home), and are super simple to make and consume.
Sometimes you’re in the mood for an intensely rich dessert—think chocolate cake or ice cream—and other times, you crave something a bit lighter. Making lemon bars during the summer or when you want something fresh and fruity is a great way to use up any old lemons lying around the house. Plus, the contrast between the slightly tangy filling and the sweet crust is definitely worth savoring!
Unlike a typical shortbread or pastry crust accompanying regular lemon bars, our keto-friendly crust is lower in carbs but has as much flavor. Adding in erythritol as a sugar substitute combines beautifully with the richness of salted butter, which provides a great base to the lemon topping.
After combining the ingredients in the filling together, you’ll want to bake it so the eggs can set and bind the mix well. Feel free to top it off with some fresh berries, an additional sprinkling of erythritol, or even more lemon zest. If you want to lean into the freshness of the lemons, leave the bars in the fridge until you’re just ready to serve.
