Instructions for Refreshing No Bake Lemon Bars Recipe: Easy & Zesty Delight

To begin making the No Bake Lemon Bars Recipe, in a blender add the cracker biscuits and blend into fine crumbs. Transfer the crumb to a wide bowl.

Add melted butter, caster sugar and lemon zest to the crackers crumb. Mix well with your fingers. Line a Rectangular Tart Pan with parchment paper. Transfer the crumb to the pan and press it tight into a very firm even layer. Place it in fridge for about 30 minutes to set. This will be the base of the no bake lemon bar recipe.

Next to make the filling, add agar powder and 1/2 cup water in a sauce pan. Place it on stove,and heat it with constant stirring until agar powder dissolves and starts to thicken up.

Once the agar powder starts to thicken, add sugar and keep stirring until sugar is completely dissolved.

Mix corn flour into lemon juice and make sure no lumps are present. Add this mix to the agar mixture. Stir well. Stir frequently and continue to cook until the mixture has thickened and coats the back of the wooden spoon.

Add fresh cream and whisk well. If you adding yellow food color, add it now.

Remove the crumb base from the fridge and pour the lemony filling. With a clean flat spatula even the top layer of the lemon bar. Once the filling cools down, pop it into fridge for about 2 to 3 hours or until set and firmed up.

Once the No Bake Lemon Bars are fully set remove from fridge and using a sharp knife cut into squares or rectangles.
