Key Lime Pie Bars

"These baked Key Lime Cheesecake Bars are for the person who loves key lime pie but wants something creamier and richer. This recipe skips the sweetened condensed milk and uses a cheesecake-style filling instead, which gives the bars a tangier flavor and a sturdier texture. They make a full 9x13 pan, with enough key lime juice and zest to keep the flavor bright. The cheesecake layer is rich and creamy, and the whipped cream on top keeps each bite from feeling too heavy. It gives you a little break from the sweet-tart filling, which is probably why everyone kept going back for another square. "
