Ingredients

Graham Cracker Crust

  • 12 graham cracker sheets
  • 1/4 cup + 2 Tbsp. brown or coconut sugar
  • 9 Tablespoons butter melted
  • 1 pinch salt

Key Lime Pie filling:

  • 2 14 ounce cans sweetened condensed milk
  • 6 egg yolks
  • 3/4 cup key lime juice
  • 1 lime zested
  • 1 dash salt
  • Whipped cream for garnish
  • 1 Key lime sliced for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350℉. Grease and line a 9" x 11" glass baking dish with parchment paper.

Graham Cracker Crust

  1. In a food processor, blend the graham crackers, sugar, butter, and salt until you see small crumbs. Press the crumbs into the bottom of the baking dish.

Key Lime Pie Filling

  1. In a large bowl, mix together all of the filling ingredients. Whisk until the filling is well blended and pour over the graham cracker crust.

  2. Bake for 18-26 minutes or until the center of the bars appears set and not gooey. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a rack for 45 minutes. Then put the bars into the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours before serving. Cut and serve with a spoonful of whipped cream and/or a slice of key lime, if desired.
