Simple Key Lime Pie Bars

Key Lime Pie Bars are an easy, light dessert that is perfect for summer. You only need 6 ingredients and 30 minutes to throw them together!

Summer is literally days away and if there is anything that screams “summer” in Florida, it’s Key Lime Pie. This easy dessert is an absolute staple because it is so creamy, tart and refreshing!

Question: what’s better than pie? Answer: pie that you can eat with your hands.

Enter the Key Lime Pie Bar.

All good key lime pies have a buttery, sweet graham cracker crust. I make mine very simple – just honey graham crackers and butter. Blind bake it for 10 minutes to create a crunchy crust that won’t crumble and fall apart.

Next up: the filling. This is so easy-peasy. I don’t even get out my stand mixer for this one because a handheld mixer will do the trick. Adding one ingredient at a time, whisk the egg yolks, sweetened condensed milk, lime zest and key lime juice. This will create a fool-proof luscious filling. Pour into the crust and bake for 15 minutes.

Once you remove the pie bars from the oven, allow them to cool completely. I know, I know, you want to DEVOUR them now… but they need to cool an additional 2 hours in the fridge.

Cut the pie evenly into squares and top with whipped cream or powdered sugar. I like to garnish them with thinly sliced lime wedges to make them bright and pretty!
