VEGAN FROZEN COCONUT LIME BARS

Steps:

• Spray a 9-by-9-inch pan with cooking spray and line with two overlapping sheets of parchment paper to create overhang on all sides.
• Combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar and salt in a medium bowl. Place the shredded coconut in a small skillet and toast over medium heat for about 3 minutes, tossing often, until light golden brown. Add half the coconut to the bowl with the graham cracker crumbs, reserving the other half for later.
• Add the coconut oil to the graham cracker crumb mixture and toss with your hands until the crumbs are evenly moistened. Transfer to the prepared pan and press into an even layer, packing the crust lightly with the bottom of a measuring cup. Freeze for 30 to 45 minutes, until the crust is firm to the touch.
• Meanwhile, allow the ice cream to sit at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes, until slightly softened. Spoon the ice cream into a large mixing bowl and add the zest of 1 lime, the lime juice, the reserved toasted shredded coconut and a pinch of salt. Working quickly, mix with a spatula until combined and smooth.
• Scrape the mixture onto the frozen crust and spread into an even layer using an offset spatula.
• Cover the pan with plastic wrap and freeze until firm, at least 3 hours, or overnight.
• To serve, lift the overhanging parchment paper to remove the bars and place on a cutting board. Zest the remaining lime over the bars, cut into squares and serve immediately.

HEALTHIER KEY LIME BARS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Line an 8-inch (20 cm) square baking dish with parchment paper to hang over the edges.
• Make the crust: in a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut oil, honey, cinnamon, and salt. Mix with a spatula until smooth.
• Transfer the crust to the baking dish. Use a spatula to smooth the crust into a thin, even layer covering the bottom of the pan. Set aside.
• Make the filling: open the cans of coconut milk and use a spoon to scoop the thick cream at the top of the can into a medium bowl. Set aside the remaining liquid for another use, such as in smoothies, soups, or sauces.
• Beat the coconut cream with a hand mixer until very fluffy, about 5 minutes.
• Add the lime juice and honey. Continue to beat until smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
• Pour the filling over the crust and use a spatula to smooth out the top.
• Top with the lime zest.
• Freeze for at least 2 hours, until the filling has set.
• Grab the parchment on both sides and lift the frozen bar from the baking dish. You may need to use a knife to release the edges or turn the dish upside down on a cutting board and tap on the bottom to release the block.
• Quickly cut the block into 16 2-inch (5-cm) square bars.
• Enjoy!
