Yield Makes 16

Number Of Ingredients 15

Crust
1 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup sweetened flaked coconut, toasted, cooled
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
Filling
3/4 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon (packed) finely grated lemon peel
1 teaspoon all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch of salt
1/4 cup powdered sugar

Steps:

  • For crust:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 8x8x2-inch metal baking pan with foil, leaving overhang. Butter foil. Combine flour, sugar, and salt in processor; blend 5 seconds. Add coconut and butter; process until mixture resembles fine meal and begins to clump together. Gather dough into ball. Press dough evenly over bottom of prepared pan. Bake crust until golden at edges, about 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prepare filling:
  • Combine 3/4 cup sugar, eggs, lemon juice, lemon peel, flour, baking powder, and salt in processor. Blend filling until smooth.
  • Remove crust from oven. Pour filling evenly over hot crust. Return to oven and bake until filling begins to brown at edges and is just set and springy to touch in center, about 30 minutes. Transfer pan to rack; cool lemon bars completely.
  • Using foil as aid, transfer lemon bars to work surface. Flatten foil edges. Cut into 16 bars. Sift powdered sugar over. (Can be made 5 days ahead. Store airtight in single layer in refrigerator.)

Tips:

  • Use a firm or extra-firm tofu. This will help the tofu hold its shape when it is being cooked.
  • Press the tofu before cooking. This will help remove excess water and make the tofu more flavorful.
  • Cut the tofu into even-sized squares. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the tofu. This will prevent the tofu from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the tofu over medium heat. This will help prevent the tofu from burning.
  • Flip the tofu squares halfway through cooking. This will help them cook evenly on all sides.
  • Serve the tofu immediately. This will ensure that it is at its best flavor.

Conclusion:

Lemon coconut tofu squares are a delicious and easy-to-make vegan dish. They are perfect for a quick and healthy meal. The tofu is coated in a flavorful marinade and then baked until crispy. The lemon and coconut flavors complement each other perfectly, and the tofu is a great source of protein. Serve these tofu squares with your favorite dipping sauce or as part of a main course.
