KEY LIME PIE BARS – This refreshing dessert starts with a tart and sweet lime filling baked over a graham cracker crust and topped with homemade whipped cream. It’s a classic dessert perfect for summer!

Nothing says summer like key lime pie! It’s the perfect dessert to enjoy after a fun day out in the sun. I can practically hear the kids playing at the pool.

I love a good pie recipe baked up into bar form. I think it makes the dessert easier to transport, easier to serve up, and it usually feeds more people.

This recipe makes 12 large servings. If you’re looking to serve more people, or you just want smaller portions, you can easily cut the bars into 18 or 24 servings.

Using Nellie & Joe’s Key Lime Juice really speeds up the process of making Key Lime Pie Bars. No need to spend forever juicing key limes, and I love that the overall key lime flavor is more predictable with a packaged product.

Cover Key Lime Pie Bars and store in the fridge for 2-3 days.
