Topping:
3 tablespoons agar flakes
1 1/3 cup water
1 cup raw sugar
1 cup lemon juice
1/2 tablespoons all purpose flour
How to make Vegan Lemon Bars:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees (F). Line a 9 by 13 inch baking pan with heavy duty foil and lightly grease or spray with baking spray.
Crust:
In a large mixing bowl, stir together flour and sugar. Then stir is melted vegan margarine to make crust dough.
Next, press crust mixture into the baking pan, being sure to press the mixture on the sides to assure that the crust holds the topping. Bake for 20 minutes, or until lightly browned.
Topping:
In a medium saucepan, soak agar flakes in water for 15 minutes.
Mix flour in with the lemon juice until it is well dissolved.
Boil agar for 10 minutes, until flakes are completely dissolved.
Reduce heat to medium and low boil. Whisk in raw sugar and lemon juice mixture until well combined.
Pour mixture into pre-baked crust and refrigerate for at least 3 hours. The filling should only be slightly jiggly and set. Remove Lemon bar slab from baking pan, using flour to lift. Slice into squares, dust with confectioners sugar, if you choose, and serve. Enjoy.
