Ingredients
Scale
1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup key lime juice (fresh is best)
3 large egg yolks
Zest of 2 key limes (optional)
Whipped cream (for serving)
Thin lime slices (for garnish)
Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Firmly press the crumb mixture into the bottom of a greased 9×9-inch baking pan. Bake for about 8-10 minutes until golden and fragrant. Let cool slightly.
In a bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, key lime juice, and egg yolks until smooth. Add in the zest if using.
Pour the filling over the cooled crust, spreading it evenly. Bake for another 15-20 minutes until the center is set.
Let the bars cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to help them set.
Once chilled, cut into squares and serve topped with whipped cream, lime slices, or mint leaves.
Notes
Key Lime Pie Bars offer a wonderful combination of tangy key lime flavor and creamy filling atop a buttery graham cracker crust, perfect for summer gatherings.
