Servings: 9
Ingredients
- 175 g Graham Cracker Crumbs (See notes for alternatives)
- 113 g Unsalted Butter Melted
- 50 g Granulated Sugar
For the Lime Filling
- 3 Large Egg Yolks
- 397 g Sweetened Condensed Milk (1 Tin)
- 2 Limes, Zest and Juice (Or 4 Key Limes)
- 100 ml Lime Juice
For the Whipped Cream
- 250 ml Double Cream (Heavy Cream)
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 400F (or for Celsius, 180 for fan). Line an 8 inch square tray with baking parchment.
- Crush the Graham Cracker/Biscuit crumbs to a fine powder using a rolling pin or food processor. Mix with the melted butter and sugar.
- Press into the tin in an even layer. Bake 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile start the filling: Add the egg yolks to a large bowl and whisk for 3-5 minutes (ideally with an electric mixer). Then add the condensed milk and whisk again 3-5 minutes. Then add the lime zest and juice and mix to combine.
- Pour the mixture over the base, then return to the oven for 15 minutes - until golden at the edges. Remove and let cool.
- Place in fridge once the pan has cooled enough. Let set for at least 2 hours or until ready to serve (overnight works well!).
- Once ready to serve, whip up the cream using an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Spread over the bars and top with more lime zest before slicing and serving!
