Key Lime Bars

Ingredients

For the Crust:

• 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  These form the base of the bars, providing a crunchy and buttery layer.
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  Adds sweetness to the crust.
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  Binds the crumbs together and adds rich flavor.

For the Filling:

• 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
  The base of the creamy filling, adding sweetness and richness.
• 1/2 cup key lime juice
  Freshly squeezed is best for authentic flavor, but bottled can be used in a pinch.
• 4 large egg yolks
  Adds structure and richness to the filling.
• 1 teaspoon lime zest (optional)
  Enhances the lime flavor with an extra citrusy kick.

For the Topping:

• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  Whipped to soft peaks for a light, airy topping.
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  Sweetens the whipped cream.
• Lime zest or chopped nuts (optional)
  For garnish, adding a pop of color and extra flavor.
