Lemon Curd Almond Bars

Teresa Ambra

Christmas Cookie Extravaganza – 2021

Oh, my heart. Take a deep breath! Lemon Curd Almond Bars. I love Lemon Curd anyway. Put it in these delicious bars and they become over-the-top. Really. While this is in three layers, each layer is easy to make so the difficulty level is not very high. The hardest part is cutting the bars after they’re baked! I recommend freezing or refrigerating them 30 minutes to an hour before cutting.

I have had this basic recipe for decades. I’ve made it with apricot filling, cherry filling, orange marmalade filling and blackberry filling. Now here’s one with Lemon Curd filling. You don’t know what you’re missing until you try one of these jewels. I’ve made the Apricot Almond Bars so many times for our Christmas Cookie Extravaganza. Every time I do, I get so many rave reviews and people wanting more! I think you’ll find the same thing with these Lemon Curd Almond Bars

I personally prefer using Dickinson’s Lemon Curd rather than any other brand. The texture is better and thicker than other brands. Plus, it just tastes better. I know with Covid and supply lines shut down, it’s not so easy to find Lemon Curd in grocery stores. I went to three different stores just to get enough for all the batches we were making for Christmas. But if you can find it, Dickinson’s is the best.

I highly recommend these cookies for holiday baking, Christmas or New Year’s parties or for any kind of potluck. I guarantee you won’t have one left. These goodies will go like hot cakes.

Melt butter. (All the way!) This picture does not reflect that, but the crust is much easier to work with if you completely melt the butter.
