Creamy Lime Squares Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Heat oven to 350°F. Line 13 x 9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
• 2. Combine pretzels, granulated sugar, and butter in medium bowl; mix well. Press crumb mixture firmly onto bottom of prepared pan.
• 3. Bake crust for 7 to 10 minutes.
• 4. Mix sweetened condensed milk, eggs, lime juice, orange juice, and lime peel in a large bowl.
• 5. Pour evenly over crust.
• 6. Bake 25 minutes. Cool and chill.
• 7. May garnish with powdered sugar, whipped topping, and lime slices before serving. Cut into bars.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease or spray a 9 x 9 baking pan.
• Mix one cup of the flour with the confectioner's sugar and salt. Cut in butter.
• Place crust mixture in pan and distribute evenly. Press firmly into pan. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes or until edges are light golden brown.
• While crust is baking, prepare filling. Mix sugar and remaining 1/4 cup of flour with electric mixer.
• Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
• Add lime juice, zest and food coloring, if desired. Beat well until frothy. I found 4 drops of green was a good color.
• When crust is light golden around edges, pour filling over hot crust and return to oven for about 20 minutes or until filling is set. Filling won't wiggle when it's set.
• Cool completely. When cool, cut with wet knife and dust with additional confectioner's sugar if desired.

Steps:

• 1. 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush an 8-inch square baking dish with melted butter. (This step is important because it will make it easy for you to remove the parchment paper later.) Line bottom with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two sides.
• 2. 2. To make the crust: Whisk almond flour/ground nuts with graham-cracker crumbs, sugar, and zest. Mix 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. 3. To make the filling: In a large bowl, whisk together egg yolks and condensed milk. Add lime juice and lemon juice; whisk until smooth. Pour filling into cooled crust; carefully spread to edges.
• 4. 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.

• Make crust: Using an electric mixer, beat butter, sugar, and salt until light and fluffy. Add flour, and mix on low just until combined. Press dough into the bottom and 1/2 inch up sides of prepared pan; prick all over with a fork. Bake until lightly golden, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Make filling: In a large bowl, whisk together yolks, condensed milk, and lemon juice until smooth. Pour over hot crust in pan; return to oven, and bake until filling is set, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool completely in pan.
• Refrigerate until filling is firm, about 2 hours or up to 3 days. Using paper overhang, lift cake onto a work surface; cut into 16 squares, and dust with confectioners sugar.
