• Butter: I like to use unsalted butter so that I can control the salt content in my recipe.
• Cream Cheese: Full fat or less fat.
• Sweetened Condensed Milk: For added sweetness and creaminess.
• Egg Yolks: Not only are they a natural thickener but also add a ton of richness to these bars.
• Key Lime Zest: Lime zest will also work.
• Key Lime Juice: For bright lime flavor.
• Vanilla Extract: I always opt for pure vanilla extract due to its intense vanilla flavor.
