  3. Whisk the mixture thoroughly until smooth and well combined.

Assemble and Bake:

  2. Pour the prepared lemon topping evenly over the baked base.
  3. Return the tray to the oven and bake for another 20 minutes at the same temperature, or until the top turns slightly golden.

Cool and Serve:

  1. Allow the dessert to cool completely before cutting it into square pieces.
  2. Dust the squares with a little powdered sugar for decoration and enhanced flavor.

Your lemon dessert is now ready to serve! Enjoy this tangy and refreshing treat with your family or guests.
