How to cook Calamansi Bars
Have you heard of the classic American dessert bar, called Lemon Squares? Now we are going to prepare the Filipino version of lemon squares, which is the Calamansi Bars Recipe.
Calamansi is a Philippine lime also called as Calamondin which is a small citrus fruit with dark green rind and yellow flesh inside. Calamansi is available year-round since it grows abundantly here in the Philippines and for that reason sometimes it just sits there in the kitchen for a long time which frequently results of getting rot. So to avoid such a thing, preparing this Calamansi Bars Recipe is a great idea.
These Calamansi Bars are quite addictive that you will absolutely ask for more. While cooking this, you will smell the scent of calamansi floating across the room that is so inviting. It has a combination of sweet and tangy flavors with a buttery cookie base and then sprinkled with powdered sugar on top which tastes so heavenly in every bite.
Calamansi Bars Ingredients
Cookie Crust:
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- A pinch of salt
- Calamansi Topping:
- 4 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 cups sugar
- 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp of fresh calamansi juice (substitute with lime or lemon)
- 3-4 tbsp. confectioners’ sugar, for dusting
- Calamansi Bars Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350F. Spray the bottom and sides of a 9×13-inch or 10×10 cake pan with nonstick spray.
To make the crust: In a bowl, combine butter and confectioners’ sugar, beat until light and fluffy.
Add flour and salt, and mix another minute until well combined.
Transfer the dough to the prepared pan, and press down to an even thickness over the bottom of the pan.
Bake the crust for 20 to 25 minutes, until lightly golden. Remove from the oven, and cool on a baking rack.
To make the topping: Whisk together the eggs and sugar in a large mixing bowl.
Add the flour, and whisk until just combined, then whisk in the calamansi jucie.
Pour the calamansi mixture over the cooled crust, then bake for an additional 25 minutes, or until the filling is set.
Allow the calamansi bars to cool completely. Generously dust with confectioners’ sugar and cut into squares.
Use a metal spatula or a butcher’s scraper to remove the bars from the pan.
