Easy Key Lime Pie Bars Recipe

There’s a reason that these are called easy key lime pie bars with a graham cracker crust – just 8 ingredients and a couple of steps and you’re on your way to delicious sweet and tangy lime bliss!

Shopping list of ingredients for these key lime bars

• crushed graham crackers
• cinnamon
• brown sugar
• butter
• key limes (or regular limes will do)
• sweetened condensed milk
• eggs
• lime zest (this citrus zester makes it so much easier)
• whipped cream (optional)

Step 1: Make your key lime pie bar graham cracker crust

Let’s get started with these key lime bars recipes! Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, cinnamon, and brown sugar. Next, add your melted butter and mix well.

Press your graham cracker mixture evenly into the bottom of an 8 x 8-inch baking pan. Set the graham cracker crust aside to cool.

Step 2: Making the key lime pie filling

Combine the sweetened condensed milk, lime juice, and egg yolks in a medium mixing bowl and mix it well. Next, gently fold in the lime zest. Pour the key lime ingredients mixture into your graham cracker crust and bake the key lime bars at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes.

Zesting tip: If you have a zester, you’re better than me. I don’t have one, so I used my cheese grater and shaved off a bunch of flecks of the green skin on the outside of the limes I squeezed. I also tried a potato peeler in the past, but it did not work well as the lime shavings were too large.

Step 3: Cool and refrigerate the key lime bars

Allow this tasty batch of easy key lime pie bars to cool for at least 20 minutes, then cover and refrigerate for 1 -2 hours. Slice into 9 bars, add a little whipped cream, if you desire, and serve.

Enjoy these easy lime bar dessert!

Summer is here, finally! We love family time and the moments that matter, and I can tell you that these are the best key lime squares and they will be made again very soon. Like maybe tonight, because they’re already gone.
