this tastes almost like Keylime pie/Lemon Bars Ingredients:
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted and cooled, plus more for pan |
2/3 cup shelled pistachios |
1 cup (4 ounces) graham-cracker crumbs |
1/4 cup sugar |
1 tablespoons grated lime zest |
for the filling |
2 large egg yolks |
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk |
1/2 cup fresh lime juice |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush an 8-inch square baking dish with melted butter. Line bottom with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two sides.
2. In a food processor, finely grind pistachios with graham-cracker crumbs, sugar, and zest. Blend in butter. Press mixture into bottom and 1 inch up sides of prepared pan. Bake until lightly browned, 8 to 12 minutes. Cool crust, 30 minutes.
3. To make the filling: In a large bowl, whisk together egg yolks and condensed milk. Add lime juice; whisk until smooth. Pour filling into cooled crust; carefully spread to edges.
4. Bake until set, about 15 minutes. Cool in pan on rack; then chill at least 1 hour before serving. Using parchment paper overhang, lift out of pan, and transfer to a cutting board. With a serrated knife, cut into 16 squares, wiping knife with a damp kitchen towel between each cut. To store in refrigerator, cover with plastic wrap.
