Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line an 8×8-inch pan with foil and lightly grease it for easy removal.
- Prepare the crust: In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for about 10 minutes until set.
- Make the filling: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it’s smooth. Gradually add in the condensed milk and beat until well combined.
- Incorporate the eggs: Mix in the egg yolks one at a time, ensuring each is well blended before adding the next.
- Add the zesty flavor: Stir in the lime zest and key lime juice until smooth.
- Combine and bake: Pour the filling onto the baked crust and bake for about 30 minutes, or until set.
- Cool down: Allow the bars to cool to room temperature before chilling them in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
- Final touch: Whip the cream with confectioners sugar until stiff peaks form. Top each bar with whipped cream and a sprinkle of lime zest.
