Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C).
Line a 9” square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving handles, and lightly grease.
In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter until combined.
Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
In another bowl, mix sweetened condensed milk, sour cream, egg yolks, key lime juice, vanilla extract, and lime zest until smooth.
Pour the filling over the crust in the baking dish.
Bake for about 15-20 minutes until set.
Allow to cool completely before cutting into bars.

Notes

For a firmer filling, ensure to bake until just set and refrigerate for a few hours before serving.
You can substitute regular lime juice if key limes are unavailable.
These bars are perfect served chilled and topped with whipped cream.
