Key Lime Pie Blondies
The perfect easy treat for lovers of the zesty, lime-y classic, but wanting to change it up a little! This recipe is super simple and a great way to get those creamy lime vibes in a different form. You can omit the condensed milk, as only a little is required. (I buy it in the squeeze bottles, but I know they can be hard to find).

Ingredients
- 165 g Butter Melted
- 150 g Light Brown Sugar
- 130 g Granulated Sugar
- 1 Medium Egg
- 1 Egg Yolk
- 220 g Plain Flour
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 Lime Zest and Juice
- 150 g White Chocolate Chopped (Optional)
For the Topping
- 125 g Full Fat Cream Cheese
- 1 Medium Egg
- 50 g Granulated Sugar
- 3 tbsp Sweetened Condensed Milk Optional, see notes
- 1/2 Lime Zest and Juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6. Line an 8 inch square baking tin.
- Combine the melted butter, granulated sugar and light brown sugar in a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer. Combine on high speed for 3-5 minutes.
- Add the eggs and vanilla and combine again.
- Fold in the flour, baking powder, lime zest, a little lime juice and white chocolate chunks, using a wooden spoon/silicone spatula. Pour this mixture into the lined tin and spread out evenly.
- In a separate bowl, combine the cream cheese, sugar, egg, the condensed milk (if using) and the remaining lime juice and zest. Pour this over the blondie. Bake for 30-35 minutes. The cheesecake/pie layer may appear a little wobbly – a little is okay, if it looks VERY wobbly give it another 5 minutes. Let cool for at least 1-2 hours before slicing and serving!
