Who doesn't love a tangy, delicious key lime pie? These scrumptious bars are a healthy take on this yummy dessert, but with much less sugar and other refined ingredients. This easy recipe, which is a gluten-free, paleo treat, uses Key lime juice, which has a good amount of vitamin C. Key limes are also called Mexican or West Indian limes. They are aromatic and very juicy, with a stronger and more complex acidic flavor than Persian limes (the typical, larger limes found in grocery stores). They are also delicious in beverages, sorbets, and jams. They are excellent in marinades for fish (seviche) or meats and chicken, and used in fish and meat stews. If you can't find Key limes in your area, substitute bottled Key lime juice, like I did. The Flaky Crust

Hey Jenny!
Thanks for the cute Christmas card and update that my family always looks forward to!
Do you, by chance, know the calorie content of a serving of your key lime pie bars?

Hi Toni! You're very welcome. I'm so glad we've kept in touch after all these years. You're lookin' good, sista! :-)
I don't know the calorie count, sorry. They're definitely not low calorie, but they are made with whole food ingredients (versus refined), and are pretty guilt-free - as long as you don't eat the whole pan. ;-)
Love, Jenny
