STEP 1
Heat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper and generously grease bottom and sides.
STEP 2
Whisk together water and eggs until well blended. Add Meyer lemon filling mix and whisk until smooth. Set aside.
STEP 3
Stir crust mix and melted butter until crumbly dough forms. Press dough evenly into bottom of pan. Bake 12-14 minutes (crust may be pale).
STEP 4
Whisk filling mixture again and pour over hot crust. Bake 25 minutes or until edges begin to brown. For ease of cutting, chill 1-2 hours.
STEP 5
Soften vanilla ice cream 15-20 minutes or until spreadable with a spatula, but not melted. Cut the sheet of lemon bars in half. Using a spatula, carefully smooth the ice cream over one half of the lemon bars, spreading ice cream to edges.
STEP 6
Carefully place the other half of the bars (lemon filling facing up) on top of the ice cream and gently settle into place. Cover with plastic wrap; freeze 2-3 hours or until ice cream has firmed up. Cut into bars before serving. Store in freezer.
