Limes aren’t something I always gravitate towards when baking, but they’re such a fresh and tart option. Although these bars are mainly enjoyed for dessert, they are definitely something you can take out any time of day. Made with a delicious graham cracker crust and a fresh lime filling, you will love these bars! They are best enjoyed cool and stored in the fridge. They will crumble a bit, so you may want to enjoy them with a fork, but that’s up to you!

  • 6 tbsp. butter melted
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
LIME FILLING
  • 4 oz. cream cheese softened to room temperature (can substitute greek yogurt, as this has a similar tangy taste, but it will change the taste slightly)

  • 4 egg yolks
  • 1/2 cup lime juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
