Ingredients
- 5 tablespoons Hiland Dairy Butter, melted
- 1 1/2 cups Graham Cracker Crumbs
- 2 Egg Yolks
- 2 teaspoons Key Lime or regular lime zest
- 1/2 cup Key Lime Juice
- 1 can (14oz) teaspoons Sweetened condensed milk
- Whipped Topping
- 1 cup Hiland Dairy Heavy Cream
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In an 8×8 baking dish, prep with nonstick spray or parchment paper and set aside.
- In a small bowl, mix the melted Hiland Dairy Butter with the graham cracker crumbs. Mix together until combined. Mixture will look like wet sand.
- Pour the crumb mixture into the baking dish and press down into an even layer. Bake the crust in the oven for 6-7 minutes.
- Filling: In a stand mixer or with a handheld mixer, mix the egg yolks, sweetened condensed milk, Key Lime juice and lime zest. Mix on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until combined.
- Pour the filling over the baked crust and spread out evenly. Place in the fridge overnight to set.
- Whipped Topping: In a stand mixer with the whisk attachment or a handheld mixer, add the Hiland Dairy Heavy Cream, sugar and vanilla and mix on medium speed for about 2 minutes or until you have stiff peaks.
- Once ready to serve, cut bars and place a large dollop of the whipped topping on each bar. Garnish with a slice of Key Lime and some zest if desired.
- Store bars in the fridge when not serving. Enjoy!
