Ingredients:

For the Crust:

  • 200g digestive biscuits
  • 100g unsalted butter, melted

For the Filling:

  • 4 large egg yolks
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • Zest of 3 limes
  • 120ml freshly squeezed lime juice

For the Topping:

  • Whipped cream
  • Lime slices or zest for garnish (optional)

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  2. Place the digestive biscuits in a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form. Add the melted butter and pulse again until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  3. Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sweetened condensed milk until smooth. Stir in the lime zest and lime juice until well combined.
  5. Pour the filling over the cooled crust and spread it out evenly.
  6. Return the baking dish to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until chilled and set.
  8. Once chilled, lift the bars out of the baking dish using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into squares.
  9. Serve chilled, topped with whipped cream and lime slices or zest, if desired.
