As anyone who’s heard Jimmy Buffet’s most famous song knows, Margaritaville is clearly a state of mind.
To set sail for Margaritaville, you just have to relax, kick back with a cool drink, and let the sun’s embracing warmth flow right through you without a care in the world.
This delicious fruit dessert recipe for Florida Key Lime Cheesecake Bars from the folks at Modern Comfort Food is a great way to let your taste buds in on the mellow fun.
With Father’s Day just around the corner, I know more than a few fathers who would prefer to make the holiday a “No Tie Zone” and enjoy the easy goodness of these Florida Key Lime Cheesecake Bars instead.
Enjoy!
Ingredients:
3/4 cup plain graham cracker crumbs (approximately 6 graham crackers)
1/2 cup unsalted, sliced almonds

1 14-ounce can sweetened, condensed milk
8 ounces cream cheese (or American Neufchatel cheese), at room temperature

key lime bars sound really yummy. I love that harsh tart backdrop that lemon and lime have:)

This is a total keeper, Doug! I’m from Florida and this looks easy and fantastic for a picnic (easier to serve up than a pie) Thanks!
