Cannabis Lemon Bars

I absolutely LOVE lemon bars, and they were my big guilty pleasure when I worked for Starbucks as a teenager; I'd eat so many my stomach could hurt (don't judge me). So when I saw Martha Stewart's recipe for a creamy version, I HAD to try it! Of course this version has cannabis as the secret ingredient, and will mellow you out.

It is hypothesized that citrus can decrease the effects of THC, but that wasn't the case with these delicious squares. I caught myself saying "damn that's good!" after I tasted the first bite.

INGREDIENTS

• 1/2 cup cannabis butter, softened
• 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar, plus more for dusting
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 4 large egg yolks
• 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
• 3/4 cup fresh lemon juice

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line with parchment paper & spray an 8 or 9-inch square baking pan with non-stick baking spray. 
2. For crust: Using an electric mixer, beat cannabis butter, sugar, and salt smooth. Add flour, and mix on low until combined. Press dough into the bottom & bake until lightly golden, about 15 minutes.
3. For custard: In a bowl, whisk together yolks & condensed milk until smooth, then whisk in the lemon juice. Pour over hot crust in pan; return to oven.
4. Bake until custard is set, about 25 minutes. Cool completely in pan.
5. Refrigerate about 2 hours, until top is firm.
6. Once cooled, cut into 16 squares, and dust with confectioners sugar.
