đ What Makes This Recipe So Good
These paleo lime bars are the ultimate warm weather, almost-too-good-to-be-true dessert. Theyâve got a crumbly, crisp crust thatâs reminiscent of crushed graham crackers, and a citrusy lime curd filling thatâs equal parts tangy, tart, and sweet. Itâs a better-for-you sweet treat thatâs perfect for Easter, Motherâs Day, baby showers, cookouts, or just any time youâre craving something extra delicious. Making them really couldnât be easier! Similar to our paleo lemon bars, these lime bars are great for even the most novice bakers. Believe it or not, you need less than 10 ingredients total, and most of them are pantry staples I bet youâve got on hand right now. Feeding a group with a variety of dietary needs? Youâre in luck. This recipe is paleo, obviously, and itâs also dairy free, grain free, gluten free, and refined-sugar free. If you swap out the coconut sugar for Brown Swerve, allulose, or monk fruit and the maple syrup for a liquid keto sweetener, you can make them keto-friendly and low carb, too!
đ©đŒâđł Chefâs Tips
When youâre zesting the limes, be careful not to cut too deeply into the peel. The white pith (the layer just beneath the vibrant green peel) is dry and bitter, and itâll totally throw off the flavor of the lime bars. Weâre using regular limes here, but you can absolutely use key limes instead! Paleo key lime bars will have a brighter, slightly sweeter flavor than paleo lime bars. Key limes are typically a little smaller and more yellow in color than traditional limes, so you may need to use more to get the same amount of juice and zest. Your key lime bars may also look a little different than our lime bars. Theyâll taste just as great, though! I love a dusting of powdered tapioca starch and a lime wedge garnish, but you can skip both of those if you want. If you donât want to serve naked lime bars, give each square a dollop of whipped coconut cream. The coconut flavor is subtle but goes beautifully with the flavor of the limes, and it keeps your bars paleo and dairy free!
