Lemon Blueberry Bars are baked dessert bars with a buttery, crumbly crust topped with a tangy lemon custard filling and juicy blueberries.Dust the bars with confectioners’ sugar for a sweet finishing touch.These bars are based on my amazing Lemon Bar Recipe, which has rave reviews! I just added blueberries! Ingredients & Substitutions Crust: The crust is a basic sweetened shortbread crust with a buttery, crumbly texture.

It will be pre-baked before adding the topping.This prevents it from becoming soggy.Then, it will be baked again with the filling.

Filling: The bars’ filling is a lemon custard with fresh blueberries.Ensure the eggs are at room temperature before mixing with the other ingredients.Lemon Juice: If possible, use freshly squeezed lemon juice in the bars.

It has a more vibrant flavor that is hard for bottled juice to match.You will need 3-4 lemons for 2/3 cup juice.Blueberries: Although fresh blueberries are best, you could use frozen.

If using frozen berries, add them to the filling while frozen (do not thaw).The baking time may need to be adjusted if using frozen blueberries.Confectioners’ Sugar: Confectioners’ sugar, also called powdered or icing sugar, is dusted over the top of the chilled bars.

This not only looks lovely, but the sweetness also balances the tartness of the lemon flavor.Can I Make The Bars Ahead Of Time? Yes, because of the chilling time needed to set the bars, it is best to make them in advance.
