Lemon Yogurt Bars
Ingredients:
For the bars
For frosting
Directions:
For the bars
- Preheat oven to 400º F. On floured surface, roll out puff pastry to 11” x 16”.
- Cut in half lengthwise and place both halves on an ungreased baking sheet. Pierce pastry with fork in several places.
- Bake 7-10 minutes or until puffed and golden. Cool on rack. Blend confectioner’s sugar, cornstarch, egg yolks, sugar, vanilla and 2 tablespoons of the milk in medium bowl with a whisk. Set aside.
- Bring remaining milk (3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons) and 2 1/2 cups yogurt to a boil in a medium saucepan, while whisking. Stir hot milk-yogurt mixture into sugar, confectioner’s sugar, egg and cornstarch mixture and blend thoroughly.
- Return to saucepan. Cook, stirring constantly, over medium heat for 4-5 minutes or until thickened to pudding consistency.
- Remove from heat and stir in lemon zest. Refrigerate mixture for 20 minutes. On a clean surface or large cutting board, spread the thickened, slightly-cooled filling on one piece of the pastry.
- Refrigerate additional 20 minutes, or until set.
For frosting
- Combine yogurt and confectioner’s sugar in small bowl.
- Cover and refrigerate if not used immediately.
- To assemble, place the plain piece of puff pastry on top of piece with filling on it. Frost. Keep chilled until ready to serve.
- Before serving, slice into 10 bars. Top with berries, and if desired, dust with additional confectioner’s sugar.
