Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal later.
-
In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
-
Gradually add the flour to the butter mixture, mixing until a crumbly dough forms.
-
Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to create a crust layer.
-
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 15-18 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
-
In another bowl, beat the eggs, granulated sugar, salt, and vanilla extract together until well combined.
-
Gently fold in the shredded coconut into the egg mixture.
-
Spread the orange marmalade evenly over the cooled crust layer.
-
Pour the coconut mixture over the marmalade layer, spreading it out evenly.
-
Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
-
Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 15 minutes.
-
Using the parchment paper overhang, carefully lift the bars out of the pan and transfer them onto a cutting board.
-
Allow the bars to cool completely before cutting into squares or bars.
