Instructions
Instructions
- Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving a sling to remove bars easily later.
- Mix graham cracker crumbs with sugar and salt in a bowl. Stir in melted butter until crumbs are fully moistened, then press firmly into the bottom of the pan to form the crust.
- In a heat-proof bowl, whisk the lime gelatin mix into the boiling water until dissolved; chill briefly in the fridge but do not let it set.
- In a food processor or stand mixer, combine the room-temperature cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, Key lime juice and kosher salt. Blend until completely smooth.
- With the mixer running, slowly pour in the cooled but still liquid gelatin mixture until fully incorporated and silky.
- Pour the lime filling over the graham cracker crust and spread evenly to smooth the top.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm before slicing into squares.
- Serve chilled with a dollop of whipped cream, lime zest, or extra lime slices if desired.
