INGREDIENTS
3/4 Cup lemon juice
1 1/2 Cup Sugar
2 eggs
3 egg yolk
1 1/2 Teaspoon cornstarch
Pinch Sea salt
4 Tablespoon unsalted butter
1/4 Cup Olive oil
7/8 Tablespoon lemon zest
1 1/4 Cup flour
1/4 Cup granulated sugar
3 Tablespoon powdered sugar
1/4 Teaspoon fine sea salt
10 Tablespoon unsalted butter, cubed
STEPS
1
When ready to cook, set grill temperature to 180℉ and preheat, lid closed for 15 minutes.
2
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together lemon juice, sugar, eggs and yolks, cornstarch and fine sea salt. Pour into a sheet tray or cake pan and place on grill. Smoke for 30 minutes whisking mixture halfway through smoking. Remove from grill and set aside.
3
Pour mixture into a small saucepan. Place on stove top set to medium heat until boiling. Once boiling, boil for 60 seconds. Remove from heat and strain through a mesh strainer into a bowl. Whisk in cold butter, olive oil, and lemon zest.
4
To make a crust, pulse together the flour, granulated sugar, confectioners’ sugar, lemon zest and salt in a food processor. Add butter and pulse until just mixed into a crumbly dough. Press dough into a prepared 9” by 9” baking dish lined with parchment paper that is long enough to hang over 2 of the sides.
5
When ready to cook, set the Traeger to 350℉ and preheat, lid closed for 15 minutes.
6
Bake until crust is very lightly golden brown, about 30 to 35 minutes.
7
Remove from grill and pour the lemon filling over the crust. Return to grill and continue to bake until filling is just set about 15 to 20 minutes.
8
Allow to cool at room temperature, then refrigerate until chilled before slicing into bars. Sprinkle with confectioners’ sugar and flaky sea salt right before serving. Enjoy!
