KEY LIME
PIE BARS
One of everyone's favorite desserts in a bar form! These Key
Lime Pie Bars have a graham cracker crust and a delicious cream cheese and lime
filling!
Recipe type: Dessert
INGREDIENTS
For the crust:
- 15 graham cracker sheets (or 30 squares)
- 2 tbsp. granulated sugar
- pinch salt
- 6 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
For the filling:
- 6 oz. original cream cheese, room temperature
- 14 oz. can condensed milk
- 4 egg yolks
- 1 tbsp. lime zest
- ½ c. key lime juice (or regular lime juice)
- ½ tsp. vanilla extract
INSTRUCTIONS
1.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9x9-inch pan
with aluminum foil or parchment paper, set aside.
2.
In a food processor or in a large ziploc bag
with a rolling pin, crush the graham crackers until fine crumbs form.
3.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the crumbs,
sugar, salt and butter, mix to combine. Press the crumbs evenly into the bottom
of the lined pan. Place in the oven and bake for 10 minutes.
4.
Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl with a hand
mixer or the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the cream cheese until smooth and
creamy. Add the condensed milk and mix until combined.
5.
Then, add the egg yolks one at a time, mixing
well after each addition followed by the lime zest, juice and vanilla extract,
mix until combined.
6.
Pour the filling over the hot, baked crust.
Return to the oven and bake for 15-18 minutes or until set. The top should not
brown. Remove from the oven and chill in the refrigerator for 2-4 hours before
serving. I prefer dense, cold bars, so I generally give them the full 4 hours,
however, the pictures taken above were shot after 2 hours.
7.
Cut and serve, store in an airtight container in
the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
