Key Lime Bars

– 2 Tablespoons lime zest + extra for garnish

– 2 eggs

– Green gel food coloring

– Powdered sugar

Instructions

– Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8×8 baking pan with foil and spray with nonstick baking spray.

– Mix together the flour, powdered sugar, and butter until it is crumbly. Press into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 20 minutes.

– While the crust is baking, place the sugar, flour, salt, key lime juice, zest, and eggs in a blender.

– Pulse until frothy. Add a little bit of green gel food coloring to brighten the color more.

– As soon as the crust is finished, pull it out and pour the key lime filling on top. You may need to pulse it one more time before doing this. Bake again for 25 minutes.

– Remove and let cool completely. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and cut into 16 bars.
