Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 F. Prepare an 8-inch x 8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease liberally.
In a standing mixer or using a hand mixer, blend together the oil, sugar, milk, lime juice and salt. Add the flour (measured properly) and mix together with the liquid. The dough will be crumbly at this point.
Transfer the dough to the baking pan. Using your fingers, press it into the bottom of the pan firmly into an even layer.
Bake at 350 F for 15 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool 20 minutes.
While the crust cools, prepare the filling by mixing the ingredients for the filling except the lime zest together until well combined. See notes on sugar content. Test the batter as necessary, add and combine as needed. Smooth the batter over the top of the dough and spread into an even layer.
Place the bars in the freezer 2 hours to set. Then remove, sprinkle with lime zest and slice into 12 bars.
Keep bars in the freezer up 60 days.

Notes

Other flours have not been tested with the recipe. I'm assuming almond flour will work.
I am very sensitive to too much sugar which is why this recipe is lower in sugar. You can add more sugar to the filling as desired, but it will change the nutritional values.
My Amazon shop has more products similar to those used for this recipe and that I recommend to my nutrition clients.
