- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 3/4 cup fresh blueberries

Instructions

- Pour lemon mixture over hot crust and sprinkle the blueberries over the top.
- Lower oven to 350F degrees and continue baking until top is just barely set, about 18 to 20 minutes.
- Cool completely in pan on wire rack before moving to the refrigerator until ready to serve.
- Before serving, cut bars into 12 pieces and sift powdered sugar over the top, if desired.
- Store any leftover lemon bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
