Light, airy and tangy are a few words I’d use to describe these lemon ricotta bars. The smooth, tart filling melts in your mouth, and has the perfect amount of lemon flavor.
Prepare the crust:
Cook butter in a saucepan over medium heat until fully melted.
Pour melted butter into a large mixing bowl and let cool for a few minutes.
Add cane sugar, vanilla, salt and flax seeds; whisk until smooth.
Fold in ap flour ½ cup at a time.
Press dough evenly into bottom of prepared baking pan. Bake the crust for 20 minutes at 350 degrees.
Prepare the filling:
Whisk ricotta, eggs, sugar, and flour in medium sized mixing bowl.
Next, you’ll stir in lemon zest, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt.
Reduce oven temperature to 325° F.
Pour filling into warm crust.
Bake until filling feels firm when lightly touched, about 55 minutes.
Cool to room temperature for 1-2 hours.
Finish with a dusting of powdered sugar and lemon zest
