Looking for a refreshing change from heavy desserts? Peggy Key from Grant, Alabama shares these light citrus squares that are not too tart and not too sweet. "Paired with pecans, the lemon juice turns these cheesecake treats into bars of gold." she writes.

I made this the first time last weekend and definitely is a keeper! I only put in a 1/4 cup of lemon juice as I thought a 1/2 cup would be way to strong for us and it was delicious!
