Lemon bars are enhanced by adding extra-virgin olive oil to both the custard and crust, creating a balance between tanginess and sweetness. The recipe emphasizes using high-quality olive oil and encourages a delicate mixing method to prevent aeration. Incorporating egg yolks increases richness and color while the shortbread base includes raw pistachios and lemon zest for added flavor. A touch of heavy cream ensures a smooth filling, and tips for serving emphasize proper cooling and presentation for optimal enjoyment, making these bars both flavorful and visually appealing.
Lemon bars can be balanced by using extra-virgin olive oil, which enhances the flavor complexity without overwhelming the dish's inherent sweetness.
The use of both egg yolks and whole eggs in the filling enhances richness and color, while careful mixing prevents aeration and a bubbled surface.
Incorporating raw pistachios and lemon zest into the shortbread crust adds a nutty richness and citrusy brightness, elevating the flavor profile of lemon bars.
To maintain the lemon bars' texture, avoid dusting them with powdered sugar until serving, ensuring the sugar does not dissolve into the dessert.
