What’s better than key lime pie and pistachio cheesecake? When you combine them into one – key lime pie pistachio cheesecake bars.

Let’s start from the bottom to the top.

The crust isn’t just your standard graham cracker, but with a little bit of pulverized pistachios as well. Then the filling is cream cheese, key lime juice and zest, and some homemade pistachio butter. To finish it off I topped it with whipped cream, more pistachios, and a little bit of crushed pink peppercorns.

Pink peppercorns as a garnish for key lime pistachio cheesecake bars? Yes trust me, the addition enhances the key lime citrus flavor as well as the cream cheese. It’s such a small thing but a tiny bit really does bring this dessert to full fruition.

Of course if you are still a skeptic you can omit it, but I challenge you to try it out on just one bite. Live a little!
