Ingredients
For the crust:
- 12 graham cracker sheets
- 1/4 cup + 2 Tbsp. brown or coconut sugar
- 9 Tbsp. melted butter
- 1 pinch sea salt
For the key lime pie filling:
- 2 (14 oz.) cans sweetened condensed milk
- 6 egg yolks
- 3/4 cup key lime juice
- 1 lime, zested
- 1 pinch sea salt
Whipped cream, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Grease and line a 9×11 baking dish with parchment paper. If you use parchment, you can easily remove the bars from the dish when they’re done.
- To make the crust, add the graham crackers, sugar, butter, and sea salt to a food processor and process until fine crumbs form. If you don’t have a food processor, crush the graham crackers in a zip-top bag and mix the ingredients together.
- Press the crust mixture into the bottom of the baking dish and set aside.
- Add all of the filling ingredients to a medium-sized bowl and whisk together until everything is incorporated well. Pour the filling on top of the crust in the dish.
- Bake for 18-25 minutes, or until the filling looks set.
- Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the bars cool on the counter for an hour, and then let them chill in the fridge for 2-3 hours until cold.
- Slice the large square into bars and top with dollops of whipped cream if desired. Enjoy!
