Tips:
- To achieve a perfectly smooth and creamy filling, ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing.
- Use fresh limes for a burst of citrusy flavor. The zest and juice provide a vibrant and tangy taste.
- For a richer flavor, opt for high-quality white chocolate. It will enhance the overall taste and texture of the bars.
- Chill the bars thoroughly before slicing and serving. This allows the filling to set properly and prevents crumbling.
- Sprinkle some lime zest over the cooled bars before serving for an extra zesty kick.
