Pre heat your oven to 350 degrees
Prepare an 8x8 baking pan by cutting 2 pieces of parchment paper and overlapping them into a cross shape. Make sure the paper overlaps the sides of the pan a little bit. This will be your handles later when you lift the baked bars out of the pan.
Place graham crackers into a food processor and blend until it is all crumbs. You will need about 2-3 of the small packages in the box to make 1 ⅓ cups of crumbs.
1 ⅓ cup graham crackers
In a large bowl, add your ground graham crackers, melted butter, salt and sugar and mix well
5 tablespoon melted butter, ½ teaspoon kosher salt, 3 tablespoon granulated sugar
Press the crust into you prepared 8x8 baking pan well. It should look pressed and firm and the crust comes up of the sides just a little bit
Bake your crust for 5 minutes and then remove from the oven to cool while you make your filling.
In a large bowl, add your sweetened condensed milk (making sure to scrape it all out of the can), lemon juice and egg yolks and mix well until smooth
1 14 oz can of sweetened condensed milk, 3 egg yolks, ½ cup fresh squeezed lemons
Now, pour your mixture into your prepared pie or tart crust
Bake for 15 minutes
Remove from the oven and let cool completely
Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight
Serve with whipped cream and/or powdered sugar (optional)
Whipped cream for serving, powdered sugar for serving
Enjoy!
