CREAMY LIME COCONUT BARS

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!

Ingredients

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

1/2 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.

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.

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 1/2 c finely crushed pretzels
1/2 c granulated sugar
1/2 c melted butter
2 can(s) Eagle brand sweetened condensed milk (14 oz each)
3 large eggs, beaten
1/2 c freshly squeezed lime juice (4 limes)
1 tsp orange juice
1 Tbsp grated lime peel
powdered sugar
Cool Whip
lime slices

Steps:

1. Heat oven to 350°F. Line 13 x 9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
2. Combine pretzels, granulated sugar, and butter in medium bowl; mix well. Press crumb mixture firmly onto bottom of prepared pan.
3. Bake crust for 7 to 10 minutes.
4. Mix sweetened condensed milk, eggs, lime juice, orange juice, and lime peel in a large bowl.
5. Pour evenly over crust.
6. Bake 25 minutes. Cool and chill.
7. May garnish with powdered sugar, whipped topping, and lime slices before serving. Cut into bars.

Tips:

For a richer, creamier filling, use heavy cream instead of milk.
Add a teaspoon of lime zest to the filling for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
If you don't have a 9x13 inch baking pan, you can use a 10x15 inch pan, but you will need to adjust the baking time.
Be sure to let the bars cool completely before cutting and serving, otherwise they will be too soft and gooey.
Store the bars covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can also freeze them for up to 2 months.
