Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal. 2. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined and the crumbs are evenly moistened. 3. Press the crust mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. 4. Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from oven and let cool slightly. 5. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. 6. Gradually add the sweetened condensed milk, mixing well after each addition. 7. Stir in the key lime juice and grated lime zest until the filling is smooth and well combined. 8. Pour the filling over the cooled crust and spread evenly. 9. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center. 10. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours or until fully chilled. 11. Once chilled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan. Cut into squares. 12. Serve topped with whipped cream, a slice of lime, and a sprinkle of lime zest.
