How to Make 2Bleu's Key Lime Pie Bars

  1. **Crust:** Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Combine 1 ½ cups granola and ½ cup slivered almonds in a food processor; pulse until coarsely ground.
  2. Add 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs, ½ cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter, and ¼ cup granulated sugar to the food processor. Pulse until well combined.
  3. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  4. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is lightly golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
  5. **Bottom Layer:** In a large bowl, whisk together 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, ½ cup key lime juice, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon lime zest until smooth.
  6. Pour the mixture evenly over the cooled crust.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  8. Let cool completely to room temperature.
  9. **Top Layer:** In a separate bowl, whisk together ¼ cup heavy cream, 2 tablespoons powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon key lime zest until soft peaks form.
  10. Spread the whipped cream evenly over the cooled bottom layer.
  11. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. (Optional: Garnish with extra graham cracker crumbs or lime zest before serving.)
