Savor Zesty Margarita Bars, a delightful dessert with a tangy lime filling and a hint of tequila, topped with a buttery, sweet crust.
Gather flour, sugar, butter, lime juice, lime zest, eggs, tequila, baking powder, and salt. These combine for a refreshing and indulgent treat.
Mix flour, sugar, and melted butter until crumbly. Press into the bottom of a greased pan. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15 minutes.
Whisk together eggs, sugar, lime juice, lime zest, tequila, and baking powder. Blend until smooth. This mixture forms the tangy, zesty filling.
Pour the lime filling over the pre-baked crust, smoothing with a spatula. This ensures an even layer of vibrant, tart flavor.
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes. The filling should be set and slightly firm to the touch. A toothpick should come out clean.
Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan. This helps the filling set and makes it easier to cut into neat squares.
Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar if desired. Cut into squares for a perfect, refreshing treat.
Serve chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy the vibrant lime flavor and hint of tequila in these irresistible, zesty bars.
