Equipment
Method
- Grease a 9×13-inch pan or line it with parchment.
- Mix crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until evenly moistened. Press firmly into the pan base.
- Chill crust for 15 minutes while preparing the filling.
- Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla until smooth and fluffy.
- Whip heavy cream to stiff peaks in a separate bowl.
- Fold whipped cream into the lemon mixture gently until silky and fully combined.
- Spread filling over chilled crust. Smooth the top evenly with a spatula.
- Refrigerate at least 4 hours or freeze 1 hour for faster setting.
- Top with whipped cream and lemon zest if desired. Slice into squares and serve cold.
Notes
For a softer mousse-like texture, chill 4 hours. For firmer bars, chill overnight or freeze briefly before slicing. Freeze tightly wrapped portions for up to 2 months; thaw in the refrigerator. If filling seems loose, whip cream to stiffer peaks. Add berries, coconut, ginger cookies, or white chocolate for flavor twists. Store covered in the refrigerator up to 5 days.
