More About This Recipe

  • This easy take on the classic key lime pie is sure to become a family favorite. Plan ahead for this treat as you need to build in time to bake and let the cookies cool as well as let the completed dish sit in the fridge for at least eight hours. (This makes it a great treat to prepare the day before a party!) Once the cookies are ready you can easily whip this together in less than 15 minutes. And the kids can even help out with crushing the cookies. Our sugar cookie crust is a tasty twist on the traditional cookie crumble bottom. Instead of butter these key lime pie bars mix cookie crumbs and whipped topping for an extra moist and sweet base. This tart, but sweet concoction would make a great addition to any potluck. If you need more bars to fill the dessert table we’ve got plenty more recipes for you.
