Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a 9x9-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
-
In a food processor, pulse the almond cookies until they resemble fine crumbs. Add melted butter and pulse again to combine.
-
Press the cookie mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the crust.
-
In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
-
Stir in key lime juice, lime zest, and vanilla extract until well combined.
-
Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust in the baking dish.
-
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
-
Remove from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
-
Cut into bars and serve with whipped cream. Garnish with lime slices, if desired.
