    Bake for 25 minutes until lightly golden.
  3. Make the Filling

    Once the crust is finished baking, pulse the filling mixture again and pour it over the hot crust. Return to the oven and bake for another 25-30 minutes until the filling is set.
  5. Cool and Garnish
    Let the bars cool completely to room temperature. Sprinkle powdered sugar on top before serving. If not serving the same day, refrigerate the bars and blot the top before adding powdered sugar.
