Key Lime Pie Bars are a refreshing and creamy dessert featuring a tangy key lime filling on a buttery graham cracker crust, perfect for summer or any occasion.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup key lime juice

1 tbsp lime zest

Optional: whipped cream for topping

Optional: lime slices or additional zest for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until combined. Press into the pan and bake for 10 minutes. Let cool slightly.
  3. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add condensed milk, key lime juice, and lime zest, mixing until fully incorporated.
  4. Pour the filling over the crust and spread evenly. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until edges are set and center is slightly jiggly.
  5. Cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours until fully set.
  6. Lift bars out of the pan, cut into squares, and top with whipped cream and lime garnish if desired.
