I love lemon bars with its buttery crust and fresh, tart lemon taste.  Visually appealing with the snow topped dusting of powdered sugar, they’re also easy  and inexpensive to make. But it’s so easy to eat more than the alloted serving size, so a lighter, healthier version that also tastes good is better for most of us.

This version tastes almost like the original fattier recipe with a light sweet shortbread crust and lemony flavor that lingers on your tongue without being overpowering sweet.

I served these at a recent party and no one knew it was a low fat version.  So make, bake, and enjoy!
