Time 1h30m

Yield 16 to 20 bars

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
Pinch kosher salt
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 cups sugar
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (or bottled key lime juice)
2 teaspoons grated lime zest
Confectioners' sugar, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Spray the bottom and sides of a 9 by 13-inch cake pan with nonstick spray.
  • To make the crust, combine the butter and confectioners' sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium-high speed for 2 to 3 minutes, until light and fluffy. Add the flour and salt, and mix another minute until well combined. Transfer the dough to the prepared pan, and pat out to an even thickness over the bottom of the pan. Bake the crust for 20 to 25 minutes, until lightly golden. Remove from the oven, and cook on a baking rack.
  • To make the topping, whisk together the eggs and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Add the flour, and whisk until just combined, then whisk in the lime juice and zest. Pour the lime topping over the cooled crust, then bake for an additional 25 minutes, or until the filling is set.
  • Allow the bars to cool completely. Generously dust with confectioners' sugar and cut into squares.

These lime bars are the perfect summer dessert. They're light and refreshing, and the lime flavor is so bright and citrusy. I love serving them with a dollop of whipped cream.

These lime bars were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of lime desserts, but I thought I'd give these a try. I'm glad I did because they were really good! The filling was creamy and tangy, and the crust was buttery and flaky. I'd definitely make these again.

These lime bars are a bit too tart for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. Other than that, they were very good. The crust was nice and flaky and the filling was creamy and smooth.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my lime bars turned out really dry. I think I might have overbaked them.
