Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 0.25 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.25 cups Splenda Granulated Sweetener
- 2 cups Plain Greek yogurt (non-fat or low-fat)
- 8 ounces Reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cups Key lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Key lime zest
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal later.
In a medium bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons of the Splenda sweetener until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the crumb mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, cream cheese, and the remaining Splenda sweetener. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the key lime juice, key lime zest, vanilla extract, and salt until fully combined.
Pour the filling mixture over the cooled crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake the bars in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the bars cool to room temperature. Then transfer the pan to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.
Once chilled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan. Cut into 12 squares or rectangles.
Serve chilled and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
