Servings:6 bars

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups graham crackers crumbled
  • cup unsalted butter melted
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 4 eggs
  • 14 ounces condensed milk
  • 5 ounces key lime juice
  • teaspoon salt
  • whipped cream for serving

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Mix crackers, butter, sugar and salt in a bowl. Prepare a 9-inch baking dish and press the crust firmly into the bottom.
  • Bake for 8 minutes and let cool.
  • Mix eggs, baking powder, condensed milk and lime juice in a separate bowl, whisk with mixer. Pour the batter over the cooked crust and bake for 20-25 minutes. Let cool and refrigerate for about 4 hours.
  • Cut the cake into bite sized bars and serve topped with whipped cream.

Notes

  • Get them out of the baking dish easily by first lining it with foil and making ‘handles’ so you can lift them out in one piece. Let them cool completely before cutting them up.
  • Get the cleanest cuts by slicing straight down and back up with a sharp knife and wipe it clean between cuts.
  • You can still make these even if you can’t find key lime juice. Since regular lime juice isn’t as sweet you might want to add an extra pinch of sugar to the recipe.
