CREAMY LIME COCONUT BARS

Creamy Lime Coconut Bars image

This recipe came from Land O Lakes butter. I had to try them once just to see if they were as good as they sound, and believe me, they didn't last in my house past two days. I ate a big hunk every time I got hungry. Yes, I know, fully sugared, but everyone deserves a treat!

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup macadamia nuts, ground fine in a food processor
1/2 cup butter (1 stick) or 1/2 cup margarine (1 stick)
1 cup lime juice
2 (14 ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon grated lime zest
1/2 cup sweetened flaked coconut
2 drops green food coloring (makes it a pretty green) (optional)

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Combine lime juice, condensed milk, zest, and food coloring in a bowl and set aside. The mixture will slightly thicken.
In another bowl, combine flour, sugar, and nuts; cut in the butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Pat evenly into an ungreased 9x13 pan. Bake for 16-18 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.
Pour filling mixture over hot, partially baked crust. Sprinkle with coconut.
Place back in the oven for 15-17 minutes or until filling is set. Cool completely. Cover and refrigerate before serving.

Tips:

- For the perfect creamy texture, make sure the butter is softened to room temperature before creaming it with the sugar. - Use a zester to get the zest from the limes. This will give you a more intense lime flavor. - If you don't have a zester, you can use a microplane grater. - Once the bars are baked, let them cool completely before cutting them into bars. This will help them hold their shape. - For a fun variation, try adding a layer of whipped cream or fruit preserves on top of the bars before serving.

Conclusion:

These creamy lime bars are the perfect treat for any occasion. They're easy to make, delicious, and sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give these bars a try. You won't be disappointed!
