The Foundation

The foundation of these lemon bars is a buttery, shortbread cookie-flavored crust that’s both tender and slightly crisp, offering the perfect base for the creamy lemon filling. With almond flour as its base, the crust has a rich, nutty flavor that complements the zesty lemon topping beautifully without gluten!

Topped with perfection!

The filling is where the magic truly happens. Fresh lemon juice and zest are combined with a smooth, creamy mixture sweetened with FirstRate™. The combination creates a vibrant and tangy filling that’s just the right amount of tartness. Once baked, the filling sets into a luscious, creamy layer that pairs perfectly with the crumbly shortbread crust.

Whether you’re enjoying them as an afternoon treat, serving them at a gathering, or simply indulging in a late-night snack, AILI Lemon Bars are sure to satisfy your cravings while keeping you on track with your dietary goals. They prove that delicious, decadent desserts can be healthy and satisfying.

Treat yourself to AILI Lemon Bars and enjoy bright lemon flavor while staying keto, low-carb, and gluten-free!”
