Ingredients

GRAHAM CRACKER CRUST

2 cups crushed graham crackers
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)
1 14-oz. can sweetened condensed milk (can substitute coconut cream)
4 egg yolks
1/2 cup lime juice
1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Crust

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, and spray an 8"-x-8” pan with cooking spray.
Add crushed graham crackers to a bowl with butter, sugars, and cinnamon, and mix until combined. Press tightly into prepared pan. Bake for 10 minutes.

Filling

Meanwhile, place cream cheese in a large bowl or the bowl of an electric mixer. Using a hand mixer or the paddle attachment for your mixer, beat the cream cheese until smooth (about 2-3 minutes).
Add sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks, lime juice, and salt and beat until combined.
Carefully remove the prepared crust from the oven, and pour the filling on top of it. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the filling is completely set.
Place in the refrigerator to cool before slicing, at least 2 hours, or as long as overnight.
Cut into squares and enjoy as is, or top with some whipped cream
Enjoy!
