Expert Tips

Desserts don't have to be eaten after a meal. Sometimes having a small sweet as a between-meal snack can be more satisfying if you are hungry, advises noted cardiologist, Dr. Roger Blumenthal, Johns Hopkins Hospital.

Combining reduced-fat and fat-free ingredients with small amounts of full-fat ingredients (butter and coconut) results in the best of both worlds--tasty treats without guilt!

I have been craving lemon bars, but wanted a recipe that was low cal. These were perfect! The crust, filling, and glaze all had great flavor, and they were very easy to make. My whole family loved them (even my aunt who is not big on sweets.)

When the pan was pulled from the oven the entire house filled with the aroma of the Lemon. The color was spectacular, as was the texture. The crust had a rich under taste almost like a short bread. The pan was supposed to last the several days, but was gone by the end of the evening. If you have a sweet tooth, or, want to impress this is one dessert to make over and over again.
