Can I use any other sweeteners instead of sweetened condensed milk?

Yes, you can use alternatives like honey or agave syrup, but this will alter the texture and sweetness of the bars. Adjust the quantity accordingly and ensure the alternative adds the necessary creaminess.

How can I store leftover lemon bars?

Store your Two-Ingredient Lemon Bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days. They taste best chilled!

Can I freeze the Two-Ingredient Lemon Bars?

Absolutely! These bars freeze well. Cut them into squares, place them in an airtight container with parchment paper between layers, and freeze for up to three months.

What can I serve with my lemon bars?

You can serve lemon bars with fresh berries, whipped cream, or a dollop of yogurt for a fun twist. Mint leaves also make a lovely garnish.

Can I make these lemon bars vegan?

To make these bars vegan, substitute sweetened condensed milk with a homemade version using coconut cream and a vegan sweetener. This will achieve a similar taste and texture.
