### 2. **Make the filling**

* In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks until slightly thickened.
* Stir in the sweetened condensed milk and whisk until smooth.
* Add the lemon juice and zest. Mix until fully combined and creamy.

### 3. **Assemble and bake**

* Pour the lemon filling over the pre-baked crust.
* Bake for 15 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly.
* Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight) until firm.

### 4. **Serve and enjoy**

* Once chilled, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment.
* Cut into squares and, if desired, dust with powdered sugar or garnish with thin lemon slices.
