How to Make Key Lime Bars Low Fat

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs and ½ cup packed light brown sugar in a medium bowl.
  3. Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with foil, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  4. Tuck the overhanging foil underneath the pan.
  5. Lightly spray the foil-lined pan with cooking spray.
  6. Press the graham cracker crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
  7. Lightly spray the top of the crust with cooking spray and press again to compact.
  8. In a large bowl, beat 8 ounces of light cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  9. Add 1 teaspoon lime zest and 1 (14-ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk (low-fat preferred).
  10. Beat until completely smooth and well combined.
  11. Stir in ¼ cup fresh lime juice and blend until thoroughly incorporated.
  12. Pour the lime mixture evenly over the graham cracker crust.
  13. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the center is just set and the edges are slightly pulling away from the sides.
  14. Let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  15. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until completely chilled and firm.
  16. Lift the bars from the pan using the foil overhang, and cut into 16 bars.
