First, make the crust:
(well, actually, first turn on the oven at 325F and set the rack in the middle...)
1 1/4 cup graham cracker crubs
1/4 cup sugar
3 TBSP unsalted butter, melted.
-Stir all 3 ingredients together until combined.
-Press the mixture firmly and evenly in the bottom of a 8-inch square pan (that you previously sprayed with oil lightly), and set aside.
Then for the top part:
3 TBSP sugar
2 TBSP cornstartch
One can LOW-FAT sweetwened condensed milk
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 TBSP grated zest of whatever citrus you'll be using...
1/2 cup juice of those same citrus fruits...
*this time I used the zest of 1/2 a lemon, 1/2 an orange and one full lime. for the juice I used the whole lime, 1/2 an orange and 1/2 a lemon (see how I did this reverse...? clever, I know...)
-Mix the sugar and cornstarch and add the condensed milk slowly while stirring. Then add the egg, zest and juice and mix until just combined.
-Pour over the crust.
-Bake for about 25 minutes, until the edges look firm but the middle is still giggly a bit. It will firm up when cooled, I promise!!
-Let it cool at room temperature and chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours before slicing.

Bring this to a diner party and people will think you're a genius!
...or, keep it all to yourself, 'cause it's that good!

Allo Laurie. Comme je t'avais dis récemment au mariage de Maryse, en tant que passionée de cuisine à mes heures, je lis ton blog avec plaisir ! Tes photos sont toujours appétissantes (-;
ReplyDeleteJ'ai essayé tes carrés au citron (qu'avec des citrons) et miam ! ils sont vraiment délicieux: super crémeux mais pas trop riche...
