We are Key Lime Pie people…and we are Neiman Marcus Bar people…so this was a marriage made in bar heaven.
Enjoy!
If you can’t find key limes at your grocery store, you can use a regular lime instead. You’ll need about 3 or 4 key limes or 2 regular limes for this recipe.
Shopping List
1 box of yellow cake mix
4 eggs
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 box of powdered sugar (about 4 cups)
8 oz package of cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons of key lime zest
4 tablespoons of fresh key lime juice
4 eggs
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 box of powdered sugar (about 4 cups)
8 oz package of cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons of key lime zest
4 tablespoons of fresh key lime juice
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Grease (I use Pam) a 9×13 inch baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine cake mix, 2 eggs and melted butter. Spread in bottom of pan.
In a second bowl, beat with electric mixer, powdered sugar, 2 more eggs, cream cheese, lime zest and lime juice until smooth. Spread cream cheese mixture on top of crust mixture.
Bake 35-40 minutes until edges are brown and center set (it will still be slightly wobbly in the middle).
Cool on counter 30 minutes, then refrigerate 2 hours up to 2 days.
This summer, you really need to try one of these bars. It’s the perfect little poolside dessert.
Happy Sunday!
