Makes 16 creamy delicious bars
* Using a 9"x 9" square baking pan in the video
:: HELPFUL HINTS:
* Make sure cream cheese is at room temperature before baking to ensure a smoother batter.
* When key limes are not available or convenient, one can use 100% key lime juice in a bottle (available at most grocery stores)
* Avoid cracks and center shrinkage: Use all ingredients at room temperature. Place pan at the middle rack of the oven. Cool completely at room temperature before chilling.
* Get the perfect cut: Wipe the knife clean before every cut.
* Best time to cut & serve: Let it cool completely before chilling. It is best to chill bars at least 2 hours or overnight before slicing/serving.
Happy baking!
