1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 cups sweetened condensed milk

2 large eggs
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch or 9×9-inch baking dish.
-
In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined, then press firmly into the bottom of the prepared dish to form the crust.
-
In another bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk, lime juice, lime zest, and eggs until smooth and fully combined.
-
Pour the lime mixture over the prepared crust and spread evenly.
-
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the center is set and no longer jiggles when gently shaken.
-
Let the bars cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving.
