What a fantastic recipe! My niece always swoops in first whenever these are on the kitchen table—no surprise, they’re a real crowd-pleaser.

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

  2. In a bowl, mix together the melted butter, graham cracker crumbs, and sugar until the texture resembles wet sand.

  3. Press this crust mixture firmly into the bottom of your prepared pan to form an even layer. Bake for about 10 minutes, until lightly golden. Let it cool for 30 minutes.

  4. Meanwhile, whisk the egg yolks and sweetened condensed milk in another bowl until smooth.

  5. Slowly stir in the fresh lemon juice until the mixture is creamy and well combined.

  6. Pour the lemon filling evenly over the cooled crust.

  7. Bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the filling is set. Remove from the oven and cool completely for at least one hour.

  8. Once chilled, lift the squares out using the parchment paper (if used) and cut into pieces.
