Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (8 oz) lemon curd
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 °F (175 °C).
- Unroll crescent dough onto a parchment‑lined 8‑inch square baking pan, pressing seams together to form one even layer.
- Spread lemon curd evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until edges are golden brown and the curd is set.
- Cool completely on a wire rack (about 30 minutes), then refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Once chilled and firm, cut into bars. Optionally dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
- For a crisper crust, pre-bake the dough for 5 minutes before adding the lemon curd.
- Great when served chilled.
- Add lemon zest or a dash of sea salt for extra flavor depth.
