Hi foodie,

This week I went back and updated two old favorites on the blog: my Lemon Tart and Lemon Cheesecake Bars. New photos, clearer step-by-step instructions, extra tips, substitutions, and a few small tweaks to make both recipes easier and even more reliable.

Honestly, it was fun revisiting these recipes after all these years. They’re both bright, fresh, and perfect for spring, which also makes them great options for Mother’s Day.

And if you still haven’t decided what to make for Mother’s Day this weekend, I also put together 12 Mother’s Day recipe ideas that would be perfect for the occasion.

Lemon Cheesecake Bars

These lemon cheesecake bars are creamy, bright, and much easier than making a full cheesecake. No water bath, simple ingredients, and a lemon topping that makes them taste like a mix between cheesecake and lemon bars.

Lemon Tart

A classic lemon tart with a buttery crust and smooth, tangy lemon filling. This updated version includes simpler instructions, helpful baking tips, and a few tricks for getting a perfectly creamy filling every time.
