– Baking Pan – Mixing Bowls – Measuring Spoons and Cups – Whisk or Electric Hand Mixer – Citrus Zester – Citrus Juicer – Oven and Oven Mitts – Parchment Paper – Cooling Rack – Offset Spatula or Knife
For the Crust: – 1 cup all-purpose flour – ½ cup unsalted butter softened – ¼ cup granulated sugar – A pinch of salt For the Filling: – 1 cup shredded coconut – ¾ cup sweetened condensed milk – ¼ cup lime juice – Zest of one lime
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper. 2. In a bowl, combine the flour, softened butter, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust. 3. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove and let it cool slightly.
4. In another bowl, mix together the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, lime juice, and lime zest to create the filling. 5. Spread the coconut-lime filling evenly over the baked crust. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden.
6. Allow the bars to cool in the pan for about 30 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely. 7. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 1 hour before slicing into squares. Enjoy these delightful Coconut Lime Bars!
