Tips:
- Choose the right lemons. Use organic lemons for the best flavor. Look for firm, heavy lemons with smooth, unblemished skin.
- Zest the lemons finely. Use a microplane zester or the smallest holes on a regular grater to get the finest zest possible. This will help release the most flavor.
- Use fresh coconut. Fresh coconut will give your bars the best flavor and texture. If you can't find fresh coconut, you can use unsweetened shredded coconut, but the flavor and texture will be slightly different.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the bars tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the bars until they are just set. The bars will continue to cook as they cool, so it's important not to overbake them. They should be golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
- Let the bars cool completely before glazing. This will help the glaze set properly.
- Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the bars for up to 2 months.
Conclusion:
These glazed lemon coconut bars are the perfect treat for any occasion. They're easy to make, delicious, and sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet and refreshing snack, give these bars a try. You won't be disappointed!
