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!

Time 1h5m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

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.

I used key limes instead of regular limes and they were amazing! The key limes gave the bars a really unique and delicious flavor. I will definitely be making them again with key limes.

I added some chopped macadamia nuts to the crust and they were delicious! The nuts added a nice crunch and flavor to the bars.

I made these bars gluten-free by using a gluten-free flour blend. They turned out great! The crust was still flaky and the filling was still creamy. I will definitely be making them again.

These bars were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time. Overall, I enjoyed them.
