❓ Q & A
Q: Do these really set without flour?
A: Yep! Eggs + lemon curd create a custard structure once baked and chilled.
Q: Can I use homemade lemon curd?
A: Absolutely—and it’s even better. Just make sure it’s fully cooled first.
Q: Are these gluten-free?
A: Yes, naturally gluten-free.
Q: Are they keto or low-carb?
A: Depends on the lemon curd.
-
Use sugar-free lemon curd → keto-friendly
-
Regular curd → classic dessert
Q: Can I make them dairy-free?
A: Yes, as long as your lemon curd is dairy-free (many are).
Q: Why do they need chilling?
A: Cooling firms them up so they slice cleanly and get that classic bar texture.
Q: Can I freeze them?
A: Yes! Freeze sliced bars up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge.
