Easy Coconut Lime Bars Recipe

These Coconut Lime Bars feature a crumbly crust topped with a smooth, zesty filling made from fresh lime juice and shredded coconut. The recipe takes about 1 hour from start to finish and yields 12 bars.

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
2 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon lime zest
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Additional powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
Make the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, shredded coconut, powdered sugar, and softened butter. Mix until crumbly and press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Bake the Crust: Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden.
Prepare the Filling: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, lime juice, lime zest, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Add the Filling: Pour the lime filling over the baked crust and return to the oven. Bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly firm to the touch.
Cool and Serve: Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, dust with additional powdered sugar if desired, cut into squares, and serve.
