[Diabetic Friendly] Key Lime Bars... not my fav

My attempt this week at another diabetic friendly recipe... and I'm not too pleased with the result... bummer.

1 1/2 c graham cracker crumbs
5 tbsp butter, melted
3 tbsp sugar
1 8oz package cream cheese, softened
1 14oz can of sweetened condensed milk
1/4 c Key lime or lime juice
1 tbsp grated lime peel
Additional lime peel for decoration

Preheat oven to 350 F.  Grease bottom of an 8x8 square pan with shortening.  Mix cracker crumbs, butter, and sugar thoroughly with a fork.  Press evenly in the pan and refrigerate while preparing next step.  Beat cream cheese in a small bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy.  Gradually beat in sweetened condensed milk until smooth.  Beat in lime juice and peel.  Spread over crumbs in pan.  Bake 35 minutes or until center is set.  Cool 30 minutes.  Garnish with additional lime peel.  Store, covered, in frig.
