It’s the infamous Lemon Bars & Lemon squares! As seen in who knows how many community cookbooks over the years. This variation came from The Wanderers: Assumption Church Folk Group 1984.

No discussion or posting of a recipe variation can happen without a callout to Just Hood who originally posted on reddit.
