Tangy Lemon Cheesecake Bars
Classic lemon squares can contain 36g sugar per piece. We put a puckery cheesecake spin on ours--cutting sugar to just 6g per bar--which allows the bright citrus to shine.

Taste like what it is a low fat, cheesecake knockoff, tastes like jello lemon bars. Not worth the effort.
OMG delicious. It loses 1/2 a point for being hard to get out of the pan and for the impossibly small portion size. We had ours with a few big juicy blackberries on the side. Heavenly. Will definitely make again.
I just made these for my mom's birthday. They are intensely tart, but also surprisingly decadent, given the calorie count. I didn't have a 7X11 pan, so I used an 8X8. It worked just fine and it's still possible to cut them into 18 pieces, although I confess I just cut them into 9... ;)
