Ah, you’re looking for a super simple lemon bar recipe with just two ingredients! Here’s a version that works surprisingly well:
Two-Ingredient Lemon Bars
Ingredients
-
1 box of lemon cake mix (any brand; about 15.25 oz)
-
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
Optional: Powdered sugar for dusting.
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Prepare a baking pan (8×8 or 9×9 inches) by greasing it lightly or lining with parchment paper.
-
Mix the ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cake mix and sweetened condensed milk. Stir until well blended. The batter will be thick.
-
Spread in pan: Press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan.
-
Bake: 25–30 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center is set.
-
Cool & serve: Let it cool completely in the pan, then cut into squares. Optional: dust with powdered sugar for a classic look.
✅ Tips
-
You can add a little lemon zest if you want it extra tangy.
-
For a more “traditional” lemon bar look, drizzle a tiny bit of lemon juice on top after baking.
If you want, I can also give you a slightly tangier version that still uses only 2 ingredients, which tastes even more like classic lemon bars.
Do you want me to do that?
