Pro Tip: Pull out the lemon bars when there is still a slight wobble to the curd. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake for 25-35 minutes until the lemon curd has set. Pour the lemon curd onto the cooled crust and gently tap it down to release any air bubbles. You can taste and adjust flavors at this point.

Next, add the powdered sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract and process again until combined. In a food processor, combine the tofu, lemon juice, zest, and granulated sugar. Remove from crust from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. Press the dough evenly into the prepared pan and bake for 20 minutes until light golden brown.
