Creamy Crumble Lemon Bars

Last year I made an Apple Berry Crumble Slice and it was just the most yummy, delicious thing ever. I also remember that I totally justified eating it for breakfast due to the fact that it contained fruit (and if you have it warmed up, then let’s not forget all of the calcium in a scoop of ice-cream dripping over the top). Anyway, I was looking for something equally as yummy, but a little bit new and special to take to a Biggest Morning Tea and decided to make Creamy Lemon Crumble Bars.

Mmmm just imagine a beautiful creamy, lemon curd filling between two deliciously crumbly layers. Yep, the original yummy crumble bars were taken to a whole new creamy, tangy, sweet level!

If you know someone who loves lemons, then this recipe will be absolutely perfect for them! It was great served cold at our morning tea, but I also think it would have been amazing warmed up and served with custard, cream or ice-cream for dessert.

I cut my slice into very small pieces (because we all know that when you go to a morning tea you just want a teeny, tiny taste of everything!!) so it made about 30 bite-size pieces. If you cut it into larger pieces then you would end up with about 16 pieces.

This slice was so good that I was super happy to take it to our morning tea and get it as far, far away from our house as possible (I ate way too much sugar last week… even by my standards!)
