Spring is here so it’s time to make some fruity desserts!  These Creamy Lemon Bars have a delicious crust that’s filled with a delicious lemon filling.  They firm up well, are not too tart, and cut into beautiful bars.  These were the perfect dessert for our Easter dinner, and will be made a lot more during the warmer months.
