Lemon Cream Crumble Bars Recipe – Step by Step Picture Recipe

Here is what you will need to make 16 bars.

Ingredients

• 125g Plain Flour
• 90g Rolled Oats
• 50g Soft Light Brown Sugar
• 1/2 tsp Bicarbonate of Soda
• Pinch of Salt
• 140g Unsalted Butter, Cold
• 1 x 397g Tin of Condensed Milk
• Zest and Juice of 2 Lemons

Essential Equipment

• 20cm (8″) Baking Tin
• Mixing Bowl

Instructions

First, preheat your oven to 190°C/Fan 180°C/374ºF and lightly grease and line the base and sides of your baking tin.

Then sift the flour into a large bowl. Add in the oats, light brown sugar, bicarbonate of soda and salt and give it a mix. Cube up the butter and rub into the flour mix with the tips of your fingers until it forms a crumbly dough.

Press half the mixture into the prepared baking tin and press in firmly with the back of a metal spoon or your fingers.

Place it into the oven to bake for 10 minutes. Pop the remaining crumble mixture into the fridge to keep cold.

Meanwhile, let’s make the filling. If you haven’t already, finely grate the zest of both lemons then juice them.

Pour the tin of condensed milk into a large bowl and add the lemon zest and juice. Give it a really good stir until everything is nicely combined.

After the 10 minutes is up, remove the tin from the oven.

While it is still hot, pour over the lemon filling and smooth out evenly.

Now scatter the remaining chilled crumble evenly over the top. Press gently but firmly all over.

Pop into the oven to bake for a further 25 minutes until golden.

Allow to cool in the tin for 15-20 minutes then remove and allow to come to room temperature on a wire rack. Once cooled, pop into the fridge for at least an hour before slicing into 16 bars.

Store in an airtight container at room temperature and consume within 5-7 days.
