Avocado Rosemary Lime Bars…yes, really!

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups (divided) white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, minced
  • 2 limes, zested and juiced (approx 4 T)
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 4 eggs, beaten
  • 1 avocado, peeled, pitted and mashed

PREPARATION

  1. Preheat oven to 350 deg. Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish.
  2. Mix flour, 1/2 cup sugar, rosemary, and lime zest together in a bowl. Cut butter into flour mixture with a pastry cutter until clumps are small. Set aside 1 cup of the flour mixture for later use; press remaining flour mixture in an even layer into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  3. Bake until the crust sets, about 10 min.
  4. Mix 1/2 cup of the reserved flour mixture with 1 1/2 cup sugar, lime juice, eggs, and mashed avocado in a bowl until mostly smooth; spread over the baked crust. Top with the remaining 1/2 cup of the reserved flour mixture.
  5. Bake until set, about 25 min more. Cool completely before cutting into 48 bars. Enjoy!

My Notes:

  • Next time I’d use more lime juice. I felt it needed a stronger lime taste.
  • Try dusting finished bars with powdered sugar…I think it might improve their overall appearance.
