Dessert lightened up is always tasty.

We love to serve these snack bars at small parties because they are so easy to make, but impressive to serve. We’re a huge fan of portable desserts, especially during warm sunny days with summer picnics in full force.

Add in a Weight Watchers meal recipe with one of our favorites: Chicken Pot Pie, Weight Watchers Mac And Cheese, or Weight Watchers Easy Cheese Lasagna.

A Taste of Summer in a Snack Bar

Something about the flavor of citrus reminds us of sunny days and warm ocean breezes because of its refreshing bright flavor and smooth, light texture. We can serve them with whipped cream, a light icing or straight up.

Weight WAtchers Key Lime Pie Bars

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons margarine, softened
• 3 tablespoons fat-free cream cheese
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 1 large egg yolk
• 3/4 cups all-purpose flour and 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (separated)
• 3 tablespoons powdered sugar 1 large egg
• 1/4 cups fat-free egg substitute
• 1/3 cups fresh lime juice, from Key limes

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Coat an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray. To make the crust, beat margarine, cream cheese and 1/2 cup of sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in egg yolk and gradually add 3/4 cup of flour. Spread into baking dish using your hands (coat hands with 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar to prevent batter from sticking – or I stick my hand inside a plastic sandwich bag). Bake until crust is lightly browned, about 15 minutes.
2. To make the filling, beat egg and egg substitute in the same bowl used to make crust. Add remaining 1 cup of sugar and 2 tablespoons of flour; beat on low speed until blended. Add lime juice; beat on low speed until blended. Pour onto warm crust and bake 15 minutes more. Cool on a rack. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons powdered sugar.
