You only need two ingredients: a cake mix (typically a yellow cake mix) and a can of lemon pie filling. These two ingredients come together effortlessly to create a deliciously tangy treat.
With minimal ingredients, this recipe saves you time in the kitchen. It’s perfect for when you're craving something sweet and tangy without the hassle of a complicated recipe.
Unlike traditional lemon bars, this recipe eliminates the need for eggs, butter, or flour, making it a simpler and more convenient option for anyone short on ingredients.
The lemon pie filling provides an intense, tart lemon flavor that balances out the sweetness of the cake mix, giving you that classic lemon bar taste without extra effort.
The result is a soft, almost custard-like texture on the inside with a lightly golden crust. The consistency is a perfect blend of cakey and fudgy, making it a crowd-pleaser.
If you'd like to switch it up, feel free to experiment by adding zest, a sprinkle of powdered sugar on top, or even a drizzle of glaze for extra sweetness and decoration.
These 2-ingredient lemon bars are perfect for potlucks, picnics, or whenever you need a quick dessert for a gathering. They're easy to transport and can be served at room temperature.
