Key Lime Pie Ice Box Bars

Prep Time20 minutes
Author: Lorie Yarro

Ingredients

Filling

  • 2 cans full fat coconut milk refrigerated overnight
  • 1 cup greek yogurt plain
  • Juice of 3-4 regular limes or 6-7 key limes or smaller limes
  • 2 tsp lime zest
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/3 - 1/2 cup pure maple syrup add to sweetness preference

Instructions

For the crust

  • In food processor, process almonds until a fine, grainy consistency.
  • Add all other ingredients and process until dates are broken down.
  • Press firmly into a parchment lined 8x8 pan.
  • Set in freezer to chill while working on the filling.

For the Filling

  • Remove the liquid part that is separated from the hardened part of the coconut milk and discard the liquid or use it in smoothies for later.
  • Put the hardened, thick coconut milk into a large mixing bowl and using an electric mixer, whip the milk for about 2-3 minutes until it becomes a thick whipped texture.
  • Add the yogurt and mix with the mixer to combine.
  • Add all other ingredients and whip until combined. Taste to see that the sweetness is as desired.
  • Pour the mixture over the crust and smooth evenly over top.
  • Put back in the freezer and allow to chill for at least about one hour or until the filling has firmed.
  • If you keep this in the freezer for several hours or overnight, make sure to let it sit out and thaw for about 15-20 minutes before serving. You can also store it in the fridge after freezing to keep a light, whipped texture.

Notes

If you prefer a thinner crust, use only about 1 1/4 almonds and about 9-10 dates.
Make sure you have chilled the coconut milk over night and that it is the FULL FAT kind.
I made this so the recipe can very easily be halved if you don't need to feed very many!
