Recipe # 8- Lemon Squares

This is a fairly easy recipe, I had the same issue as the last recipe in that the product did not come out as lemony as I would have liked. I also think I needed to whisk the top layer a bit more as it did not come out with the uniform yellow top that I am used to with this recipe.

Cost: $3 for the coconut

Prep Time: Under 10 minutes

Verdict: Easy to make, could add a bit more lemon juice. Make sure to mix well and grease the pan adequately as it will stick.
