When life gives you lemons, make… a Lemon Bar! 

The least we can say is that we have some great culinary talents at CrowdFarming. Vanessa, who works in the Marketing team, is the living proof! Her vegan lemon bars are a real delight, and 100% approved by the whole team.


Lucky for us, she kindy shared the secrets of her original and delicious recipe. And the good news is that lemons are in season practically all year round! 

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Mix together the icing sugar, flour, ground almond and salt in a large bowl. Rub in the coconut oil or vegan butter and rose water (if using). 
2. Mix with your hands until the mixture resembles bread crumbs. Spread the mixture on the bottom of a 20cm x 30cm cake mould lined with parchment paper. Firmly press the mixture using a mug or a large glass.
3. Bake for 15 minutes or until the top is slightly golden.
4. In a medium saucepan, combine all the ingredients except for the coconut oil or vegan butter. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly until it starts to thicken (5-7 minutes).
5. Add the oil or butter and keep stirring for 2 more minutes. 
6. Pour the mixture over the base and gently tap the mold on the countertop to even it out.
7. Bake at 180°C for 30 to 35 minutes. It will not be firm until it has completely cooled down. 
8. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before cutting and enjoying.
   
   

Slice it up and enjoy!
