Enjoy these perfect, on-the-go Pink Lemonade Bars for dessert all Summer long.
I have a couple of rules when it comes to making desserts. They can’t be overly complicated, should be quick and easy to make and should be seasonally appropriate. These bars check all of these boxes and will quickly become a Summertime favorite.
Pink Lemonade Bars
The Pink Lemonade Bars begin with some Jersey Fresh strawberries, fresh lemons, eggs, butter and dry ingredients.
To start, I preheated my oven to 350 degrees. While the oven was heating I prepared the crust by creaming the sugar and butter together and adding the flour and zest.
The dough was then pressed into a 9×13 pan that I lined with aluminum foil.
For the filing I blended the strawberries until liquified and then beat together with the eggs, sugar, zest, juice, puree and flour until combined.
I then poured the filling over hot crust and baked 35-38 minutes or until the middle was set.
