Ingredients:

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Spray a two-quart baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

In a mixing bowl, combine crust ingredients and then press into the bottom of the baking dish.

Bake for 10 minutes and remove.

Whisk together all filling ingredients and then pour over the crust.

Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until center is set.

Cool and serve room temperature or refrigerate and serve chilled, dusted with confectioner’s sugar.

Let cool on a wire rack for at least 45 minutes before refrigerating to fight condensation.

  • 2 Tbsp sugar
  • 5 Tbsp butter, melted

  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1/2 tsp lemon zest
