Serves/Makes: 20
Difficulty: 2
Prep/Cook Time: 1 hour
Ingredients:
Crust:
2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
2 t lime zest
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 t kosher salt
Topping:
5 large eggs
2 cups sugar
1/4 cup plus 3 T all-purpose flour
1/4 cup plus 3 T freshly squeezed lime juice
2 t lime zest
Powdered sugar for garnish
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
Crust - combine butter and powdered sugar in a stand mixer bowl with paddle attachment. Beat for 3 minutes until very light and fluffy. Add flour, lime zest and salt. Mix.
Spray a 9 x 13 glass pan with vegetable spray and press batter evenly in pan. Bake for 22 minutes. Do Not Overbake.
Topping - While crust is cooking change mixer attachment to the whisk and beat the eggs, sugar and lime zest for 2 minutes. Add flour and mix just to combine. Add lime juice and mix another minute.
Pour topping over crust and bake for an additional 22 minutes or just until filling is set.
Cool bars completely in pan. Dust with powdered sugar and cut into bars.
Cooks Notes: If you cook the filling even a minute or two too long they will not have that moist consistency that we all love about lemon bars. The real trick to these though is putting the lime zest in the crust and using fresh lime juice.
