Ingredients
Crust
- 5 Sheets graham cracker crumbled to powder
- 1/4 Cup coconut oil melted, 45g
Filing
- 1 Cup Key Lime Juice
- 2 Tbsp. Lime Zest
- 120 Grams Liquid Egg Whites
- 1 Can Fat-Free Sweetened Condensed Milk 14 oz
- 1/2 Cup Non-Fat Greek Yogurt 112g
Topping
- 1 Dollop Whipped cream, sugar-free cool whip or vanilla yogurt
- 1 Lime Zest For Garnish
- 1 Lime Wedge For Garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and spray a 8×8 baking dish with nonstick or line with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted coconut oil. Mix to make sure the cracker pieces are all wet. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of your prepared dish to form the crust. Bake the crust for 10-15 minutes until browned, then remove it from the oven and set it aside.
- While the crust is cooling, prepare the filling. You want to make sure to add the filling to cooled crust. In a large bowl, combine lime juice, lime zest, egg whites, fat-free sweetened condensed milk, and non-fat Greek yogurt. Whisk the mixture until it’s well combined. Pour the filling over the baked crust and spread it evenly with a spatula, if needed.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set in the center, slightly jiggly but firm and the edges begin to pull away from the sides of the pan.
- Let the bars cool to room temperature in the baking dish for at least 1 hour. Cover with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and cool in the refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until they’re completely chilled and firm. This is best to do overnight so they’re fully chilled before cutting.
- Slice into 12 equal squares and top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of additional lime zest for garnish.
Notes
- About 8 limes yields about 1 cup of key lime juice.
- 4 large eggs yields 120g of egg whites.
- Add a dollop of whipped cream to each individual piece for serving.
- Be sure to let the crust cool prior to adding the filling.
