A vegan <\/strong>and gluten-free<\/strong> version of lemon bars that\u2019s shockingly close to the classic? We\u2018ve cracked the code on the ultimate<\/em> spring dessert! Just 8 ingredients<\/strong> required for these incredibly delicious lemon bars!<\/p>\n

These bars have a super lemony<\/strong>, perfectly set curd resting on an irresistibly buttery shortbread crust. They\u2019re kind of EPIC. Let\u2019s get zesting!<\/p>\n

How to Make Vegan Gluten-Free Lemon Bars<\/h2>\n

We\u2019ve done lemon bars before<\/a>, but in a naturally sweetened, creamy filling kind of way. This time is different. This NEW version is also vegan + gluten-free, but it\u2019s simultaneously CLASSIC enough to fool lemon bar connoisseurs. <\/p>\n

It begins with a shortbread-style crust<\/strong> made by beating together cane sugar and vegan butter, which adds a bit of lift and fluffiness to the dough. <\/p>\n

\"Using<\/figure>\n

Just two more ingredients (gluten-free flour blend<\/a> and salt), and the dough is ready to press into a pan.<\/p>\n

Then it\u2019s on to the filling! It has BIG lemon flavor<\/strong> with lots of lemon juice + zest! Cane sugar balances the tartness and keeps the flavor classic, while homemade cashew milk<\/a> is the dairy-free milk of choice because it\u2019s thick and creamy, which prevents the bars from developing a rubbery texture.<\/p>\n

\"Whisking<\/figure>\n

Cornstarch and turmeric come to the egg-free<\/strong> rescue! Cornstarch solidifies the filling like egg does in a classic curd, while a teeny pinch of turmeric lends a vibrant yellow color<\/strong>. The final filling ingredients are salt for flavor and vegan butter to add creaminess and a slight \u201cgive\u201d that prevents gumminess. <\/p>\n

After pouring the filling over the crust, the hardest part begins: letting the bars cool fully before digging in.<\/p>\n
