Method
-
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.
