Yield Makes about forty 3- by 1-inch bars

Number Of Ingredients 13

For shortbread layer
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 sticks (1 cup) cold unsalted butter, cut into bits
2/3 cup confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
For topping
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
3/4 cup canned coconut cream such as Coco Lopez
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
a 7-ounce package sweetened flaked coconut
a 7-ounce jar macadamia nuts (about 11/3 cups), large pieces halved

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350° F. and butter a 13- by 9-inch baking pan.
  • Make shortbread layer:
  • In a food processor pulse shortbread ingredients until mixture just forms a dough. Pat dough evenly onto bottom of pan and bake 20 minutes, or until pale golden.
  • Make topping while shortbread is baking:
  • In a large saucepan melt butter over low heat and remove pan from heat. Whisk in brown sugar until dissolved and whisk in coconut cream, heavy cream, and lemon juice until combined well. Stir in flaked coconut and nuts.
  • Pour topping over shortbread. Reduce temperature to 325° F. and bake confection until top is golden and center is bubbling, 45 to 50 minutes. Cool confection completely in pan on a rack and cut into bars. Bars may be made ahead and kept, wrapped well, chilled 4 days or frozen 3 weeks. Serve bars chilled or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the bars will taste. Look for organic, fair-trade, and sustainably sourced ingredients whenever possible.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the bars tough. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough helps it to set and makes it easier to work with. If you're short on time, you can skip this step, but the bars will be more crumbly.
  • Bake the bars until they are golden brown: The bars should be baked until they are just set in the center. Overbaking will make them dry.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them: This will help to prevent them from falling apart.

Conclusion:

Cocodamia bars are a delicious and healthy snack or dessert. They are perfect for on-the-go breakfasts, lunches, or snacks. They are also a great way to use up leftover coconut and dates. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make your own delicious cocodamia bars at home.
