Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
  • ½ cup key lime juice
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Zest of 1 lime
  • Whipped cream, for topping (optional)
  • Lime slices, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine graham cracker crumbs and sugar in a medium bowl.
  2. Pour in melted butter and stir until crumbs are evenly moistened.
  3. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8×8 inch baking pan lined with parchment paper.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk, key lime juice, egg yolks, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Stir in the lime zest.
  6. Pour the key lime filling over the graham cracker crust.
  7. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is set.
  8. Cut into bars before serving.
  9. Top with whipped cream and lime slices if desired.

Notes

  • For a firmer crust, you can bake it for 8-10 minutes at 350°F (175°C) before adding the filling, but this recipe is designed to be no-bake.
  • Ensure you use fresh key lime juice for the best flavor.
  • The bars are best served chilled.
