Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cookie Recipes

Yield Makes about 16

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup plus 2 1/2 tablespoons finely ground graham cracker crumbs
1/3 cup sugar
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3 large egg yolks
1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated lime zest
2/3 cup fresh Key lime juice (about 23 Key limes total)
1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 ounces)
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 Key limes, thinly sliced into half-moons

Steps:

  • Make crust: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Stir together graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and butter in a small bowl. Press evenly onto bottom of an 8-inch square glass baking dish. Bake until dry and golden brown, about 10 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack. (Leave oven on.)
  • Make filling: Put egg yolks and lime zest in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Mix on high speed until very thick, about 5 minutes. Reduce speed to medium. Add condensed milk in a slow, steady stream, mixing constantly. Raise speed to high; mix until thick, about 3 minutes. Reduce speed to low. Add lime juice; mix until just combined.
  • Spread filling evenly over crust using a spatula. Bake, rotating dish halfway through, until filling is just set, about 10 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack. Refrigerate at least 4 hours (or overnight).
  • Cut into 2-by-2-inch bars. Put cream in the clean bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the clean whisk attachment. Mix on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. Garnish bars with whipped cream and a slice of lime.

It's a new twist on the classic lemon bar: A light, extra-tart Key lime filling on a shortbread crust laced with coconut and white chocolate.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cookie Recipes

Time 1h30m

Yield Makes 64 bars

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces, plus more, softened, for pan
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons light-brown sugar
Rounded 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 cup finely shredded desiccated unsweetened coconut
3 ounces white chocolate, coarsely chopped (about 1/2 cup)
3 large eggs, room temperature
2/3 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2/3 cup fresh Key lime juice or regular lime juice
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Crust: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly butter an 8-inch square baking pan. Line bottom and 2 sides of pan with parchment, leaving a 1-inch overhang; lightly butter the parchment.
  • Combine flour, brown sugar, and salt in a food processor, and pulse a few times to combine. Add butter, and pulse until largest pieces are the size of peas. Add coconut and white chocolate, and pulse a few more times, just until mixture holds together. Transfer mixture to pan, and pack down firmly with the bottom of a measuring cup. Bake until crust is deep golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from oven, and reduce heat to 300 degrees.
  • Filling: Whisk together eggs and granulated sugar in a bowl, then whisk in flour. Gently stir in lime juice (do not whisk or stir vigorously or batter will become foamy).
  • Pour filling over hot crust, and bake until filling is set, about 15 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Run the tip of a knife along the 2 sides of the pan not lined with parchment, then remove from pan by lifting with parchment overhang. Transfer to a cutting board, dust with confectioners' sugar, and cut into 1-inch squares.

Tips:

- For the best results, use fresh key limes. If you can't find key limes, you can substitute regular limes, but the flavor will be slightly different. - Be sure to zest the key limes before juicing them. The zest adds a lot of flavor to the squares. - Don't overbeat the egg whites. Overbeaten egg whites will make the squares tough. - Bake the squares until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry. - Let the squares cool completely before cutting them. This will help them to hold their shape. - Serve the squares with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Conclusion:

Key lime cloud squares are a light and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be made ahead of time. The combination of sweet and tart flavors is sure to please everyone. So next time you are looking for a delicious and easy dessert, give key lime cloud squares a try.
