Lemon Berry Crumb Bars

Oh these bars are awesome! The tangy berry creamy lemon filling makes them pop. Now that summer is here, give these Lemon Berry Crumb Bars a try. Take them to picnics, BBQ’s and potlucks. I promise they will disappear quickly.

The reason why I love them is because the center is creamy, tangy with the fruity highlights of the blueberry and raspberries. Now that they are in season I want to take as much advantage of them as I can. You can also use frozen fruit if you’d like.

I don’t why suddenly I am craving bars and brownies instead of cakes. My poor 8×8″ pan is working overtime. I should buy another one just in case this one dies on me.

I am planning on making more batches of these delicious Lemon Berry Crumb Bars. The secret is the combination of lemon and condensed milk. The zest and the juice brings out the sweetness and tartness of the berries. Definitely the best combination.

Normally I am shy of making desserts at home because my husband is always counting calories and basically being a human nutrition facts board.

But lately he’s been training with another group and they like it when he brings Tupperware’s of desserts. The perfect excuse to bake. I made cookies and these Lemon Berry Crumb Bars on Friday and by Saturday morning they were completely gone.

The crumb part is made with oatmeal, brown sugar and other goodies. The trick is using really cold butter and 2 forks to break it down in little pieces. As it bakes, it melts slowly and toasts up the oatmeal creating a soft and flavorful crust with a nice topping.
