Key Lime Pie Bars




INGREDIENTS

12 graham cracker rectangles (1.5 packs)

½ cup (1 stick) salted butter, melted

3 egg yolks

1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk

Zest of 2 limes

½ cup key lime juice (regular lime juice will work, too)

Instructions
· Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

· Line a 9x9 baking pan with parchment paper. Lightly grease the sides of the pan so the bars won’t stick.

· In a medium bowl, crush graham crackers until only small crumbs remain. Stir in melted butter.

· Pour crust mixture into the baking pan and use a spatula to press crumbs down evenly.

· Bake crust for 10 minutes.

· In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat egg yolks on medium speed for 90 seconds.

· Add condensed milk and whisk for an additional 90 seconds.

· Add lime zest and key lime juice. Whisk at low speed for 60 seconds. Batter will thicken slightly.

· Pour filling mixture onto graham cracker crust. Use a spatula to spread the mixture evenly into all corners of the pan.

· Bake for 15 minutes.

· Allow it to cool completely in the pan then place in the refrigerator to cool for 2 hours.

· Carefully remove from the pan and cut into 9 or 12 squares depending on how large you want the bars.

· Top with whipped cream or powdered sugar and enjoy!

· Store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
