Why Are They Called Brownies?
If these are filled with lemons instead of chocolate, how can they be called brownies? It is because these Lemon morsels have the same texture as your favorite fudgy brownie. They are thick and rich. Yet you find them a bit lighter than your average fudgy brownie, which is divine. The fudge like texture melts in your mouth, leaving you wanting more. When you want a dense rich dessert but not the chocolate, you can reach for these!
Tips for the Best Lemon Brownies
You might need more than 1 lemon depending on its size. Look for bright yellow lemons with thin firm skin.
Zesting Lemons: Wash your lemons thoroughly before zesting. If you don’t have a zester you can use the smallest holes of a cheese grater. You want to stop zesting once you hit the pith or white part as it is quite bitter. Juicing Tip: Cut and quarter your lemons and then microwave them for about 30 seconds. This helps the lemons release more of its juice. Can I use bottled lemon juice instead of lemons? You can but it will definitely change the flavor a bit. I always prefer fresh. When substituting lemon concentrate for real lemon juice in a recipe, use two tablespoons of bottled lemon juice to replace the juice of one lemon. Substitute lemon juice concentrate for equal proportions in any recipe calling for lemon juice. Glaze: If you add the glaze while the lemon brownies are slightly warm, it’ll seep in to the brownie making it that much more moist and tender. But make sure they have cooled mostly first. Add more Lemon: If you are fan of lemons like me, add more zest for more zing. Store: Keep these in an airtight container for up to 4 days at room temperature or in the fridge for 1 week. Note they will become more moist and dense as they sit. Day 2 is divine. Freeze these as well for up to 3 months. Thaw on the counter till ready to serve.
