LIME BARS
A different take on the lemon bars we all love. I actually prefer them to lemon. This is my favorite bar cookie and I'm asked to bring it when going to a potluck or picnic. The recipe says it serves 36, but you can't eat just one of these delicious, tangy lime bars. You can omit the glaze and sprinkle with powdered sugar if that's your preference.

BUTTERY COCONUT BARS
My coconut bars are an American version of a Filipino coconut cake called bibingka. These are a crispier, sweeter take on the Christmas tradition I grew up with. —Denise Nyland, Panama City, Florida

VEGAN FROZEN COCONUT LIME BARS
Inspired by frozen Key lime pie, this simple summertime treat is for vegans and dairy-lovers alike. The no-bake graham cracker crust gets topped with softened store-bought, dairy-free ice cream mixed with shredded coconut and fresh lime juice for a dessert that's as easy to put together as it is delicious. Be sure to use unsweetened, finely shredded (also called desiccated) coconut for this recipe; regular shredded or flaked coconut will be too coarse.

Steps:
- Spray a 9-by-9-inch pan with cooking spray and line with two overlapping sheets of parchment paper to create overhang on all sides.
- Combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar and salt in a medium bowl. Place the shredded coconut in a small skillet and toast over medium heat for about 3 minutes, tossing often, until light golden brown. Add half the coconut to the bowl with the graham cracker crumbs, reserving the other half for later.
- Add the coconut oil to the graham cracker crumb mixture and toss with your hands until the crumbs are evenly moistened. Transfer to the prepared pan and press into an even layer, packing the crust lightly with the bottom of a measuring cup. Freeze for 30 to 45 minutes, until the crust is firm to the touch.
- Meanwhile, allow the ice cream to sit at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes, until slightly softened. Spoon the ice cream into a large mixing bowl and add the zest of 1 lime, the lime juice, the reserved toasted shredded coconut and a pinch of salt. Working quickly, mix with a spatula until combined and smooth.
- Scrape the mixture onto the frozen crust and spread into an even layer using an offset spatula.
- Cover the pan with plastic wrap and freeze until firm, at least 3 hours, or overnight.
- To serve, lift the overhanging parchment paper to remove the bars and place on a cutting board. Zest the remaining lime over the bars, cut into squares and serve immediately.
Tips:
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free flour.
- For a vegan version, use dairy-free butter and milk.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
- Be sure to use fresh limes for the best flavor.
- Don't overmix the dough, or the bars will be tough.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can use a pastry blender or two forks to cut the butter into the flour.
- Be sure to chill the dough before baking, or the bars will be too soft.
- Bake the bars until they are golden brown and the filling is set.
- Let the bars cool completely before cutting and serving.
