Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sweetened shredded coconut, and granulated sugar. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
-
Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, using the back of a spoon to create an even layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then remove and let cool slightly.
-
In another bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, lime zest, and lime juice until well combined. Pour the lime mixture over the baked crust and spread it out evenly.
-
Sprinkle the unsweetened shredded coconut over the top of the lime layer, gently pressing it down with your hands.
-
Return the baking dish to the oven and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
-
Remove the bars from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, transfer the bars to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours to set.
-
Once chilled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the dish. Cut them into squares or bars of your desired size.
-
Serve the Lime In De Co Co Nut Bars on a platter, garnished with lime slices if desired. Enjoy the refreshing and tropical flavors!
