Pour the filling over the pre-baked crust.
Return to oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
Allow to cool completely in the pan.
6. Serve
Lift the squares out of the pan using the parchment overhang.
Cut into squares and dust with powdered sugar if desired.
Tips for Success
Use fresh lemon juice for the brightest flavor.
Do not overbake the filling; it should remain creamy, not dry.
Chill the squares for 1–2 hours before serving for clean, firm slices.
