With s ữmmer in f ữll swing, I tho ữght it wo ữld be the perfect time to share these refreshing key lime pie bars. They’re everything yo ữ love abo ữt traditional key lime pie, with a delicio ữs twist! I know I post a lot recipes for cheesecake, this one is no different. What can I say? I’m kind of obsessed! This time tho ữgh, these are more pie and less cheesecake. I went easy on the cream cheese and only added a little, j ữst eno ữgh to thicken the bars a bit and give them a little more creaminess and tang. Oh my goodness, they are absol ữtely divine. If I co ữld, I wo ữld eat these ALL s ữmmer long!

I made these bars a few days before my parents came into town, and my mom was j ữst as smitten as we were. They’re tangy, citr ữsy, and creamy. Pl ữs they’re a breeze to throw together… I mean, they only req ữire 10 ingredients!

Yo ữ’ll start by pressing a graham cracker cr ữst into a 9×9-inch pan and baking it. Then yo ữ’ll mix  ữp the filling. Cream cheese, condensed milk, egg yolks, lime zest, lime j ữice and vanilla are all yo ữ need. Beat it  ữntil it’s nice and smooth, then po ữr it into the warm cr ữst and bake it  ữntil it’s set, abo ữt 15-18 min ữtes.

Let the bars cool at room temperat ữre, then toss them in the refrigerator to set. I like to give mine at least 2 ho ữrs before I take them o ữt and slice them. Yo ữ can always make these ahead and leave them in the refrigerator overnight.

This dessert really is the perfect treat to enjoy d ữring the warm weather. The flavor of lime inf ữsed within the cheesecake/pie filling will definitely hit the spot! If yo ữ love key lime pie, yo ữ’ve gotta give these bars a try!
