Recipe: Key Lime Bars
Description: I love lime and these are tasty. For a triple lime zap mix confectioners sugar with more key lime juice and drizzle on the cooled bars before you dust with confectioners sugar.
Ingredients: [{"text": "1 1/2 cups flour"}, {"text": "1 cup graham cracker crumbs"}, {"text": "3/4 cup butter, room temp"}, {"text": "1/2 cup confectioners' sugar"}, {"text": "2 cups sugar"}, {"text": "1/2 cup key lime juice"}, {"text": "4 large eggs"}, {"text": "lime zest (, no white please)"}, {"text": "confectioners' sugar (for dusting)"}]
Instructions: Preheat oven to 350F degrees.
Mix together 1 1/4 cups flour, graham cracker crumbs, butter and confectioners sugar to form a soft dough.
Press the dough into an ungreased 13x9x2 inch baking pan and bake until lightly browned, about 20 to 25 minutes.
While the crust is baking, beat together the sugar, lime juice, remaining 1/4 cup flour, eggs, and lime peel until well mixed.
Pour over the hot crust and return the pan to the oven.
Bake until set, around 20 minutes or so.
Cool on a wire rack and then cut into bars.
Dust with confectioners sugar.
These freeze well.
