IMPORTANT NOTICE for Lemon Bars
Lemon Juice – Use fresh, organic lemon juice.
Cutting the bars – Letting these bars fully set in the fridge is essential. YES, this is very important step. Give them time to cool down and firm up. Then cut them into desired sizes. If you don’t…well you will have a gooey mess.
Eggs – Use large, organic eggs.
Baking Powder – Always use baking powder with no aluminum
Flour – Use all purpose flour. Be sure when making crust to measure 2 cups of flour and then sift.
Whip It – it works great and it is super easy to make. (prolongs the life of your homemade heavy cream)

Hi, I notice the heavy cream as an alternative topping. What is Whip it? Not familiar with the term.
Thx much, Karyn
Hi Karyn,
Whip It is Dr. Oetker’s product.
It prolong the life of your homemade heavy cream.
I use it all the time. You can find it in any food store, baking section. (Walmart, Superstore, Safeway…)
If you want to see how it looks check this link Visual for Whip It
If you don’t have it or if you can’t find in your country, just make homemade whip cream without it.
Again, in short it is the whipped cream stabilizer.
