Coconut Lime Bars

Coconut Lime Bars are a delicious and refreshing dessert that will transport you to a tropical paradise with every bite. These bars are the perfect combination of sweet and tangy, with a creamy coconut filling and a zesty lime topping.

To make these Coconut Lime Bars, you will need the following ingredients per serving:

- 1/2 cup of sweetened shredded coconut
- 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup of granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup of lime juice
- 2 teaspoons of lime zest
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder
- Pinch of salt

To start, preheat your oven to 350°F and line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, mix together the shredded coconut, flour, melted butter, and a pinch of salt until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
While the crust is baking, prepare the filling by whisking together the sugar, lime juice, lime zest, eggs, baking powder, and a pinch of salt in a separate bowl. Pour the filling over the baked crust and return the dish to the oven. Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the filling is set and the edges are lightly golden brown.
Once the Coconut Lime Bars are done baking, let them cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares. These bars are best served chilled, so refrigerate them for at least an hour before serving.
The Coconut Lime Bars are a perfect dessert for any occasion, whether it's a summer barbecue or a cozy winter night in. The creamy coconut filling pairs perfectly with the tangy lime topping, creating a flavor explosion in your mouth. These bars are also visually stunning, with a golden brown crust and a vibrant green topping that will make your taste buds dance with joy.
