For a more intense lemon flavor, add the zest of one lemon to the cream cheese filling.
Ensure the cream cheese is properly softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
If the topping starts to brown too quickly, loosely tent the pan with foil during the last few minutes of baking.
Dust the bars with powdered sugar before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.

    I added lemon zest to the filling as suggested, and it really boosted the lemon flavor. Will definitely make these again!

    The crust was a little dry, but the overall flavor was fantastic. Next time, I might add a bit of melted butter to the crust mixture.
