Key Lime Pie Bars
Report
With a creamy filling that is both tart and sweet and a coconut graham cracker crust, these Key Lime Pie Bars are the definition of summer in one perfect bite! These bars are easy to make and a great alternative to a traditional key lime pie.

Ingredients
For the crust
- 1 ½ cups crushed graham crackers about 2/3 of a sleeve
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup butter melted
- ½ cup sweetened flaked coconut
For the filling
- 3 cups sweetened condensed milk
- ½ cup sour cream
- ¾ cup key lime juice
- 1 tablespoon grated lime zest
Instructions
For the Crust
- Preheat oven to 350° F (175° C). Line a 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine the crumbs, coconut and sugar; add butter and blend well. Press onto the prepared pan.
- Bake for 8 minutes; cool on wire rack.
For the Filling
- In a medium bowl, combine condensed milk, sour cream, lime juice, and lime zest. Mix well and pour into graham cracker crust.
- Bake in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until tiny pinhole bubbles burst on the surface of pie. DO NOT BROWN! Chill thoroughly before serving, at least 2-4 hours. Cut into 16 bars; garnish with whipped cream and toasted coconut.
Notes
- If using a 9x9-inch pan, bake the filling for 5 to 8 minutes.
- I use Nellie & Joe's key lime juice when I cannot find fresh key limes.
