To make these Lime Pie Bars, you will need the following ingredients:
For the crust:
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
For the filling:
- 4 large egg yolks
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup fresh lime juice
- 2 teaspoons lime zest
To begin, preheat your oven to 350°F. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Bake for 10 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
While the crust is baking, prepare the filling. In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sweetened condensed milk, lime juice, and lime zest. Pour the mixture over the baked crust and return to the oven. Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the filling is set.
Once the bars are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until completely chilled.
When ready to serve, cut the bars into squares and garnish with additional lime zest or whipped cream, if desired.
These Lime Pie Bars are the perfect combination of sweet and tangy, with a buttery crust that melts in your mouth. They are a great dessert for any occasion and are sure to impress your guests. Try making these bars for your next gathering and watch as they disappear in no time!
