No Bake Key Lime Squares
These bars are just Key lime pie in a different form. While you can bake them, summer calls for no bake cookies, and these stand up fine without baking.
To be on the safe side, use pasteurized eggs in the filling.

Makes
16 squares
- Crust:
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- Filling:
- 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 4 egg yolks (from pasteurized eggs)
- 2/3 cup fresh Key lime juice (or regular lime juice if Key limes aren't available)
Topping (optional)- 1/3 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons finely grated lime zest
Steps
Make the crust: Combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and butter. Spread
evenly over the bottom of a lightly buttered 9-inch square pan, packing
the crumbs firmly. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Make the filling: Beat the cream cheese with the condensed milk and egg yolks until smooth. Beat in the lime juice until smooth. Pour the filling over the chilled crust.
Refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or until filling is firm.
If desired, make a topping by mixing the graham cracker crumbs, sugar and grated lime zest, and sprinkle lightly over the filling.
Refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or until filling is firm. Using a knife dipped in warm water, cut into squares to serve. Keep cold when not serving.
