Recipe by Ann Taylor Pittman Classic lemon squares can contain 36g sugar per piece. We put a puckery cheesecake spin on ours--cutting sugar to just 6g per bar--which allows the bright citrus to shine.

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 °.

  2. To prepare crust, weigh or lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Place flour, almonds, powdered sugar, oil, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a food processor; pulse until almonds are finely ground. Add butter; pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal. Pour mixture into an 11 x 7-inch glass baking dish coated with cooking spray. Pat mixture down into an even layer, patting firmly without compacting too tightly (which will make crust tough). Bake at 350 ° for 23 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from oven; cool completely.

  3. Reduce oven temperature to 325 °.

  4. To prepare filling, rinse processor, and wipe dry. Place yogurt and next 6 ingredients (through cream cheese) in processor; process until smooth. Add eggs; process until smooth. Pour mixture over crust, spreading evenly. Bake at 325 ° for 30 minutes or until set.

  5. Cool completely on a wire rack. Cover and refrigerate 3 hours or until chilled.

Why this Tangy Lemon Cheesecake Bars Recipe | Myrecipes works for PCOS

Desserts on a PCOS plan are not banned, but timing and pairing matter. Eating sweet foods immediately after a balanced meal (rather than on an empty stomach) blunts the blood sugar response, since protein and fat slow gastric emptying. This Tangy Lemon Cheesecake Bars Recipe | Myrecipes works best as an occasional post-dinner option rather than a standalone snack.
