Directions
Lemon Cream Cheese Squares, Portable cheesecake, rich and tart!Adapted from the All Butter Fresh Cream Sugar Packed No Holds Barred Baking Book by Judy Rosenberg!, We really enjoyed the flavor of these squares. They were lovely and light in flavor. I took a page from other reviewers and used parchment paper to line my dish. I also skipped the egg white wash, as it did seem unnecessary to me. My results were delicious! I will be so happy to share these with friends and family. Thanks so much for sharing another winner of a recipe, Sharon.
