Zesty Key Lime Pie Blondies

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 Method

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

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6. Line an 8 inch square baking tin.
  2. 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.
  3. Add the eggs and vanilla and combine again. 
  4. 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.
  5. 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!
