Nellie and Joe’s Key Lime Bites for a Crowd

Written by Rocky Mountain Woman on March 4, 2013 – 7:06 am -

This is a great dessert idea for a lot of people. I make it all the time when I cater and it’s always a hit!

Ingredient List:

3 cups graham cracker crumbs
2/3 cup sugar
12 T butter, melted
2 14 oz cans sweetened, condensed milk
6 egg yolks
1 cup Nellie & Joe’s Key West Lime Juice (I love this stuff)

Measure the graham cracker crumbs in a bowl

add sugar

melt butter

add to bowl and stir until mixed

spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray

dump the crumb mixture on the pan

then with a cup push the crumbs down so they are packed in tightly

mix the milk, eggs yolks and lime juice together

until they are smooth, pour in the prepared crust

and bake until the center is set – about 25 to 30 minutes – in a preheated 350 degree oven

cut into pieces and serve
