Vaughn’s Salted Margarita Bars are an ideal party dessert, mingling all the fun of a margarita and its salted rim with the efficiency of a slab pie. Key lime pie’s boozier, saltier cousin, it comes together quickly and maintains its consistency when frozen, making it a great make-ahead treat for a barbecue or a trip to the beach. Any tequila will work, but blanco is preferred for its milder taste. Don’t make the curd more than 10 minutes before putting the bars in the oven, as the lime juice will start to thicken it, which could affect the bake.

About NYT Cooking:
All the food that’s fit to eat (yes, it’s an official New York Times production).
**Salted Margarita Bars**
**For the crust:**
- ½ cup/113 grams unsalted butter (1 stick), melted, plus more for greasing the pan
- About 40 saltine crackers (from one 4-ounce/113-gram sleeve)
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
**For the filling:**
- 2 teaspoons lime zest plus ½ cup juice (from about 4 limes)
- ¼ cup tequila (preferably blanco)
- 2 tablespoons orange liqueur, such as Grand Marnier
- Pinch of kosher salt
- 5 large egg yolks
- 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- Flaky salt, for finishing
**Step 1:**
Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9-inch square baking pan with butter (or use the wrapper from your stick of butter). Line the buttered pan with parchment, leaving an overhang on two sides. (This will help you pull the bars out of the pan easily.)
**Step 2:**
Prepare the crust: In a food processor, pulse the saltines until ground like coarse sand. (Alternatively, place them in a zip-top bag and use a rolling pin to crush them.) It’s OK if there are a few larger pieces. Add the melted butter, sugar, and salt, and pulse a few more times until all the crumbs are evenly saturated (or mix to combine in a medium bowl). Pour the mixture into the lined pan, press into an even layer, and freeze for about 15 minutes.
**Step 3:**
After the crust has chilled, bake it until fragrant and golden brown, about 15 to 18 minutes.
**Step 4:**
While the crust cools, make the filling: In a liquid measuring cup or small bowl, combine the lime zest, lime juice, tequila, orange liqueur, and salt.
**Step 5:**
In a medium bowl, whisk together the yolks and sweetened condensed milk. Add the tequila-lime mixture to the yolk mixture, whisk to combine, then pour into the prepared crust. (It’s OK if the crust is not yet completely cool.) You may be tempted to prepare the curd earlier, but don’t do so more than 10 minutes before baking, as the lime juice will start to thicken it, which could affect the bake.
**Step 6:**
Bake 15 to 17 minutes until the curd is set around the edges and slightly jiggly in the center.
**Step 7:**
Transfer to a rack to cool slightly, then freeze for at least 2 hours.
**Step 8:**
After freezing, remove the bars from the pan using the parchment paper overhang and transfer to a cutting board. Sprinkle with flaky salt, cut into 16 bars and serve right away. Store leftovers in the freezer. Cheers!

Thank you!
@@ethanwhitney1658 no problem!
Thank you, this is really helpful.
@@kaminidandapani9047 you are welcome! Feel free to play some of my music while baking!
Do you know what temp to bake at?@@Matthewaustinbellmusic
2 videos from Vaughn in a row!!!!
“A Jell-O shot for people who love themselves” 😂
"Absolutely gorgeous" - must heretofore be said in a northern Irish accent. Thank you, Vaughn from the Derry Girls.
"Two shots of vodka!" Sandra Lee also lives rent-free in my mind LOL
Well now I know what I'm taking to my friend's 4th of July Pool Party!
Two Vaughn vids!!!! YESSS. Also, fangirling aside, these bars sound pretty simple and absolutely delicious! I may try adding a sprinkle of tajin on top for funsies. Thanks, NYT!
I made this for a NYE party (using tea biscuits for the crust) and they were wickedly good. A super easy & delish recipe.
Vaughn’s videos are the best. Always going to get a great recipe plus I’m smiling the whole video. Great food great mood!
I see Vaughn, I click
Oh Vaughn I love Sandra Lee also!!!
It’s always a holiday when there’s a new Vaughn Video!!!!
The Bars aren't the only thing that's delicious in the video 😝
How adorable, the love child of Channing Tatum and The Deep ❤
Thank you for uploading this video looks awesome.Florida USA 😊Rainbow 🌈Chef 😊🙏🙏👍👍👍👍👍
Yes! More actual recipe videos, please!
Omg, another Vaughn video?! I'm in heaven!!!
Question: Will Triple Sec work for this recipe? It’s what I have on hand and Grand Marnier is quite pricey for just a couple tablespoons for a recipe.
I'd say orange zest in the crust and it's spot on!
I dont do alcohol but it does look like the perfect summer dessert !
Thanks Vaughn. You are a legend. ❤
Intro is fire already hahah
"Oh-mah-gahd. Baby, I'm on a B E A C H." - thank you for this.
Damn, Vaughn must be the best boss EVER!
Vaughn is so charming so attractive so skilled luv luv luv his recipes 😊❤❤
Vaughn is great.
Love Vaughn!!
Good to know I'm not the only one who measures zest with any actual teaspoon,. I love boozy custard/icecream
I love the orange plate. Where is it from?
Made these after seeing the ad pop up on Instagram. Far too tequila forward for my taste, but the saltine crust is a fun idea. Would probably use less tequila or do without
Oh yummy 😋
Those look so refreshing.
OMG…. This will become my fave margarita
Great choice for dessert
VAUGHN! YEAH!❤🎉
Melt the butter at 50-60% power to get a more even and less explosivse result.
So normally lime juice and condensed milk will solidify into like a Keylime pie filling. Does the alcohol prevent it from setting up so the eggs are needed? Would Agar Agar work for vegans?
This recipe is based on a lime curd instead of the classic condensed milk key lime pie filling. I don't know anything about vegan substitutions, but if you already know how to do a vegan key lime pie then you could maybe do something like that? It sounds worthwhile to test
@@christianvalente3376 I just realized the condensed milk eliminates it from being vegan. LOL Trying to plan a meal for a friend that is vegan can be a challenge.
Vvvvaaauuugggghhhhnnn!!! Is it my birthday?! Bc this is a gift.
I loveeee this recipe! Have made them before, they will get you drunk lol
We like Vaughn❤
Looks so delicious
"A Jello shot for people who love themselves." I've never made vegan lime curd but I'm gonna try it with JustEggs™and a sweetened condensed oat milk. I've had some success with JustEggs in baked goods in the past... although Vaughn's recipe calls for egg yolks and JustEggs is more like the entire egg.
Hmmm mmmm 😆😏😃. Very good
Perfect timing! 💚
a drunk Vaughn is better than a regular Vaughn. but a regular Vaughn is still better than No Vaughn. So, by process of inductive logic, a drunk Vaughn eating a salted margarita cookie is better than No Vaughn at all. It's just good logic and reasoning!
Vaughn-that shirt looks pectacular on you!!!
tequila right not "two shots of vodka"? looks good
He’s jokingly referencing a video where a lady, who’s making a drink, says “two shots of vodka” and pours like half the bottle.
Jesus Christ. And I thought I was gay.
a margarita with vodka??
❤
My hypertension is tense 😂
SO much salt in the crust.
Cooking the alcohol take away the boozy?
Even if you cook it, some will remain since the alcohol will vaporize at the same rate as the water.
why does this guy look like it was Al generated?
Careful - you said "vodka" durung the video and later said tequila. I see the recipe in tbe description box asks for tequila.
meh. mid af.
This was not good
How can you joke about Margaritas when the Supreme Court just ended Democracy as we know it
Chill out!
@@jacky3580 That's what they said in 1930s Germany
Because we don't care about the opinions of lawyers in robes.
@@TheRealWilliamWhite You'll care when they take away your right to vote.
@@helpfulcommenter that's what the 2nd point on the bill rights is for.
Perhaps leave the comedy to the professionals.
Sashay! Shantay!!
Omg nooooo Vaughn is getting huge !!! You ok baby ? Well fed I see! Take care of yourself my love. Big back big back
