Key Lime Pie Bars
A Bright, Tropical Dessert with Layers of Flavor
Looking for a no-fuss treat that brings summer straight to your kitchen? These three-layer Key Lime Pie Bars are zesty, creamy, and made for island dreaming. With a buttery coconut macadamia crust, tart key lime filling infused with Kōloa White Rum, and a cloud of vanilla whipped topping, each bar is a bite-sized tropical vacation.
And the best part? The fridge does most of the work. No special tools, no water baths, just mix, bake, and chill. Whether for a backyard BBQ, a beach picnic, or a sweet treat on a sunny afternoon, these bars deliver every time.
