Lemon bars have always been some of my favorite baked goods because I love how sweet and tart they are! I decided to change up the classic lemon bar recipe this time around though and turned it into a calamansi bar instead! For those who aren’t too familiar with calamansi, its often known as a Philippine lime and tastes like a mix between an orange and a lime. It’s not too tart, but it’s not entirely sweet either!
For the crust, I wanted to borrow from another classic filipino flavor and made it ube flavored! The crust is basically a shortbread cookie recipe that, once baked, lends itself very well to holding up the thick calamansi curd on top of it.
Aside from the flavor combination, I feel like the two tone calamansi ube bars are pretty show stopping in their own right. A bright flash of yellow followed by a deep violet purple makes these calamansi ube bars all the more irresistible!
