Description

Key Lime Bars. From Alissa.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups (150g) graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/3 cup (75g) butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 1 can (14 ounces / 396g) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) key lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon lime zest

Instructions

  1. Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8-inch square pan.
  2. Mix crumbs, butter, and sugar. Press into the pan and bake 8 minutes.
  3. Whisk yolks, condensed milk, lime juice, and zest until thick. Pour over the crust.
  4. Bake 15 to 18 minutes, until the center barely jiggles. Cool, then chill at least 1 hour before cutting.

Notes

Bottled key lime juice is fine. Persian lime juice is milder, so use the same amount and expect a softer tartness.
