How to make kiwi bar
There are basically two steps to make these kiwi bars. Both are very easy. Essentially, we need to nail the crust (Step 1). Then the topping (step 2).
How to make kiwi bar crust
Pour your ingredients(flour, sugar, and cold butter) into a big bowl.
Then mix your ingredients with your hand(be careful to wash your hand before start) or, you can choose the easier way and use a food processor. But mixing them with your hands is more enjoyable.
How to make kiwi bar topping.
The topping really couldn’t be any easier as it only has 5 ingredients.
First, add filling ingredients to a bowl and mix your ingredients well.
Then, grab a cutting board and cut your kiwis. Toss the kiwi in and stir by hand until everything is well combined.
By now, The Kiwi Bar crust should be done baking, so carefully remove it from the oven and watch your hand. Pour the filling onto the hot crust and tap the dish on the counter so that it settles a bit. Now it is time to get your delicious bars back into the oven for about 35-40 minutes.
When it is done, the kiwi should not be burned. It is better to check it after 30 minutes. If they seem like they are getting too dark, place a piece of foil over the bars and continue baking.
Allow the bars to rest on the counter for at least 30 minutes before serving.
If you want to serve the bars warm from the oven, the filling will not be fully set. We prefer these bars warm.
Not only it tastes good but also it is rich in Vitamin C and much more Vitamins and Minerals
If you want to refrigerate the bars and serve later, the filling will be fully set therefore, you can cut them into beautiful square pieces as many as you want and put a scoop of ice cream if you want to enjoy more. Fresh Kiwi fruit
