Answer 3

Here's the recipe for 16 bars. It says DO NOT double ingredients to make more. Just make more than one batch. So I guess you'll need to make two batches. The recipe takes about an hour.

Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon powdered sugar
1 teaspoon grated fresh lemon rind
1/4 cup reduced-calorie margarine
1 tablespoon reduced-calorie margarine
vegetable cooking spray
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup fat free egg substitute
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

Prep
Combine flour, 1/4 cup powdered sugar, and lemon rind.
Cut in margarine with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Press mixture into a 9-inch square pan coated with cooking spray.
Bake at 350° for 18 minutes.
Combine 1 cup sugar, egg substitute, and lemon juice, stirring well with a wire whisk.
Pour over baked crust.
Bake 25 additional minutes.
Let cool completely on a wire rack.
Sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon powdered sugar.
Cut into 16 bars.
Store in an airtight container.

Answer 7

Time-Warp Lemon Squares

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

Crust:
1/4 cup granulated sugar
5 tablespoon margarine
1 cup all purpose flour
Filling:
Prepared equiv. of 3 eggs- substitute (I use Ener-G Egg Replacer)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
zest and juice of two fresh juicy lemons (three if on the dry side)
1 teaspoon real vanilla
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoon all purpose flour
powdered sugar (optional)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350. Combine crust ingredients and press into 8 X 8 inch pan. Bake for 15 minutes. While baking, beat the egg substitute (follow directions of your brand) until foamy. Add the remainder of the ingredients (through flour) and mix together. Pour over the crust, and bake 20 minutes more, or until set. Cool. Sift powdered sugar on top, if you'd like, and enjoy the trip down memory lane!

Fancier version: Add a layer of vegan cream cheese mixed with a little powdered sugar over the baked crust before you pour in the filling. (You may have to cool the crust a bit before spreading the layer out.)

Serves: Makes 16 squares

Preparation time: 40 minutes

Answer 9

The best recipe I've found is the one in the box. I can't think of the name of the company, but it starts with a "K." It's better than any homemade kind...and I love to bake from scratch.
