Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
For the crust, combine finely ground vanilla wafers, melted butter, and brown sugar in a bowl; mix well and press into the bottom of the baking dish.
Bake the crust for about 10 minutes until golden brown; allow it to cool.
In another bowl, whisk egg yolks until slightly thickened; gradually add sweetened condensed milk while whisking continuously.
Stir in lime juice and zest until fully incorporated; pour over the cooled crust.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until set but still slightly wobbly in the center; cool completely before refrigerating for at least two hours.
Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form; spread over chilled bars before serving.
