LEMON COCONUT SQUARES

Categories     Citrus     Fruit     Dessert

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups plus 2 tbl flour
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
1/2 cup butter or margarine
2 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cups flaked coconut
1 cups chopped nuts (opt)
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 cup confectioners sugar
1 tbl melted butter or margarine
Juice of 1 lemon

Steps:

  • Mix together 1 1/2 cups flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar and butter; pat into buttered 9x13 inch pan. Bake at 275 for 10 minutes. Combine eggs, remaining brown sugar, coconut, nuts, remaining flour, baking powder, salt and vanilla; spread on top of baked mixture. Bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees. Combine confectioners sugar, melted butter and lemon juice; spread on top. Cut into squares. Yield: 24 squares

Tips:

  • For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free flour.
  • To make the crust extra crispy, pre-bake it for 5-10 minutes before adding the filling.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can use a blender to make the crust. Just be sure to pulse it until the mixture is fine and crumbly.
  • To make the filling extra smooth, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve before pouring it onto the crust.
  • For a more intense coconut flavor, use coconut extract instead of vanilla extract.
  • If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice. Just be sure to use 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon to get the same tartness.
  • For a sweeter filling, add an extra 1/4 cup of sugar.
  • For a more tart filling, add an extra tablespoon of lemon juice.
  • Let the squares cool completely before cutting them into bars. This will help prevent them from falling apart.
  • Store the squares in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
