I recently made a batch of lemon bars (if it helps, I used this recipe https://preppykitchen.com/lemon-bars/) for the first time. They turned out amazing, except for one little problem: the center of the curd in the bars turned into a solid bar of rubber. I definitely overbaked the curd— my oven is completely wrecked which means instead of 20 minutes at 350 degrees F the bars spent 1 hour at around 250 degrees. I should have pulled the bars out a lot earlier, but fear got the better of me and now I have chewy, crystalline jello in my lemon bars. (weirdly the shortbread in the bars turned out amazing, idk what happened there)
My question is— is there any way for me to somehow get rid of or soften this rubber in the middle of the bars? Will warming or freezing the bars help improve the texture? Or should I leave them be and focus on fixing the oven?
