I had posted this on another thread but I thought I might try here, someone told me to look here but either I overlooked it or its not here. My husband who is also eating low carb has a birthday comming up March 1st. and I would love to surprise him with one of his favs, lemon or lime bars.....if anyone has an idea or a recipe...i would be most grateful and I am sure he would too. Thanks

Why not try one of the lc cheese cake recipes and add lemon zest, and lemon flavor instead of vanilla. Just a thought. Here is the one I use all the time. I found this in the forum here. Take a look as there is a lemon cheese cake too. Good Luck

Cheese Cake
2 packages 8 oz cream cheese
2/3 c sganulated plenda (I tend to use a little less)
3 eggs
1/4 tsp. vanilla extract

soften the cream cheese and beat all ingredents until good and smooth (you can't beat it too long if you know what I mean)

Pour into pie pan. Bake at 325 for 50 mins. Cool for 20 minutes.

Topping
1 cup sour cream
1 tsp vanilla
3 Table spoons granulate Splenda (again I use a little less)

Mix and spoon on top of "crust"
Bake another 15 minutes at 325. Best served cold.

Thanks so much, this sounds so good that if I don't make it for his birthday I am gonna make it on another day cuz it sounds so yummy....I actually did find a few recipes,for the lemon bars but the carb count is so high. Even though we are 3 weeks into this we are trying to stay at 20 carbs a day. thanks again...this recipe will get used

This is a crazy question and I never would of thought of doing this but it seems a lot of people use their microwaves for baking. But, do you think that this recipe could be made in the microwave? I know it's a long shot but, my oven is broke and every time I see a good dessert recipe I run to the store and buy the stuff. Then I realize I can't bake it!

There's a recipe for lc lemon bars in the sweet treats section.

I found this on another web site, it sounds really easy and I am sure you could just use the almond flour, splenda, and butter crust.
1- 3 oz. Package of sugar free lemon jello
2- 8 oz. packages whipped cream cheese
1 C boiling water
2 tbs lemon juice

stir boiling water and lemon jello for 2 min.
add cream cheese and lemon juice mix well until all lumps are gone
pour into 8 inch square pan
chill and serve
makes 8- 1 inch servings

the recipe didn't come with a crust but I saw somewhere the one I mentioned above. this sounds so simple and you can boil water in your microwave. It also didn't give a carb count but the only thing that would count would be the whipped cream cheese. I haven't tried this yet but I will let you know after March 1st.

Hi Amy,

Could you please add the website where you found this recipe? And in case you have not seen it yet, please read the sticky thread Kitchen Forum Rules: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING HERE.

Thanks.

I wonder how many carbs per slice? thx for the recipe......

I had read the rules listed and couldn't remeber what web site I got it on. I had jotted the recipe down, however I just asked my husband if there was anyway of find a page that I didn't book mark, he found it for me . Sorry again www.fabfood.com won't make that mistake again.

i decarbed alton brown's lemon curd recipe by using liquid splenda rather than sugar, and it came out fine. i think lemon curd is traditionally used on lemon bars. you'd think i would know for sure as i have certainly eaten enough of them in my lifetime . all you need is some kind of sugar cookie type base or a sweetened cracker. i never have been a baker so i'm not even sure where to start for that.

I was thinking about making a cookie like crust with carbquick and then putting the lemon curd on top.

That would work.
