Making lemon bars with your Thermomix is not only easy but also ensures a perfect texture and taste every time. Here are some tips to help you create the best lemon bars:
- Perfect Crust: Use your Thermomix to mix the crust until it forms a crumbly texture, ensuring that your base is firm and ready to support the luscious lemon topping.
- Creamy Filling: The powerful blades of the Thermomix make it easy to blend the lemon filling until smooth, guaranteeing no lumps remain and the flavor is evenly distributed.
- Consistent Cooking: Use the Varoma setting to cook your lemon bars evenly, avoiding any hotspots that can cause uneven baking.
- Chilling: Let your lemon bars chill in the fridge after cooking, as this allows the filling to set properly and makes cutting into neat squares easier.
