Preparation

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 9x13-inch pan with parchment paper, making sure the parchment paper comes up two sides of the pan.

For crust, in large bowl mix together all ingredients until well mixed. Press evenly onto pan to about 1/4 inch thickness. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden.

In large bowl, whisk egg yolks, condensed milk and lemon juice. Pour over baked crust and return to oven for 7-10 minutes until just set. Allow to cool completely. Remove from pan and cut into squares. Dust with icing sugar to garnish, if desired. Makes 18-24 squares.

To name a few, Creative Director, Segun Olude; Art Director, Shannon Dewy; Prop Stylist, Kari Wardrop, Recipe Developer & Food Stylist, Marisa Curatolo; Copywriters Tara Kaprowy and Erin Lancione, and many friends, sponsors and advertisers. As the brand transitioned into the digital world, many more were involved. Thank you to all of them.
