Ingredients
- 175 g (2 cups) Graham Cracker Crumbs (See notes for alternatives)
- 112 g (½ cups) Unsalted Butter Melted
- 50 g (¼ cups) Granulated Sugar
For the Lime Filling
- 3 (3) Large Egg Yolks
- 397 g (14 oz) Sweetened Condensed Milk (1 Tin)
- 2 (2) Limes, Zest and Juice (Or 4 Key Limes)
- 100 ml (½ cup) Lime Juice
For the Whipped Cream
- 250 ml (1 cup) Heavy Cream
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 400℉/190℃. 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!
Notes
Notes: If Graham Crackers are difficult to source where you live, you could use Digestive Biscuits or any similar cookie/biscuit that is fairly plain tasting and crumbles well!
