Enjoy the bright, tangy flavor of key lime pie in an easy-to-make bar form. These bars are perfect for a refreshing treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • 1/2 cup key lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Whipped cream, for topping (optional)
  • Lime slices, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar. Pour in the melted butter and stir until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
  3. Press the crumb mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the crust.
  4. Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes, until lightly golden. Remove from oven and let it cool slightly.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks, key lime juice, lime zest, and salt until well combined and smooth.
  6. Pour the key lime mixture evenly over the pre-baked crust.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the center is set and no longer jiggly. The edges should be lightly golden.
  8. Let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  9. Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan. Cut into squares.
  10. Serve chilled, topped with whipped cream and lime slices if desired.

Notes

  • For a sweeter crust, you can add an extra tablespoon of sugar to the graham cracker mixture.
  • Ensure your key lime juice is fresh for the best flavor.
  • Do not overbake, as this can cause the bars to become dry.
