Yield Makes 16

Number Of Ingredients 15

Crust
1 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup sweetened flaked coconut, toasted, cooled
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
Filling
3/4 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon (packed) finely grated lemon peel
1 teaspoon all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch of salt
1/4 cup powdered sugar

Steps:

  • For crust:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 8x8x2-inch metal baking pan with foil, leaving overhang. Butter foil. Combine flour, sugar, and salt in processor; blend 5 seconds. Add coconut and butter; process until mixture resembles fine meal and begins to clump together. Gather dough into ball. Press dough evenly over bottom of prepared pan. Bake crust until golden at edges, about 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prepare filling:
  • Combine 3/4 cup sugar, eggs, lemon juice, lemon peel, flour, baking powder, and salt in processor. Blend filling until smooth.
  • Remove crust from oven. Pour filling evenly over hot crust. Return to oven and bake until filling begins to brown at edges and is just set and springy to touch in center, about 30 minutes. Transfer pan to rack; cool lemon bars completely.
  • Using foil as aid, transfer lemon bars to work surface. Flatten foil edges. Cut into 16 bars. Sift powdered sugar over. (Can be made 5 days ahead. Store airtight in single layer in refrigerator.)

LEMON COCONUT OEEY GOOEY BARS RECIPE - (4.2/5)



Lemon Coconut Oeey Gooey Bars Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by á-46109

Number Of Ingredients 18

CRUST
1 1lb. Yellow Cake Mix (or lemon)
1 egg
1 stick unsalted butter, melted
FILLING
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
2 eggs, room temperature
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 tsp. coconut extract
1/2 c. lemon juice (fresh)
2 c. powdered sugar
1 stick unsalted butter, melted
TOPPING
1/2 c. sweetened coconut
1/2 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. sugar
4 tbsp. butter, melted
3/4 c. flour

Steps:

  • 1.Preheat oven to 350 Degrees and spray a 9X13 rectangular pan with baking spray and set aside. 2. In a large bowl, pour in the cake mix, add the egg, and the melted butter and stir together with a wooden spoon. Once well mixed, pat into the bottom of the 9X13 rectangular pan. Set aside. 3. In a large bowl, cream the cream cheese until smooth and add in the eggs one at a time creaming into the cream cheese after adding into the bowl. Add the vanilla and coconut extract, lemon juice, powdered sugar, and melted butter. Pour the filling on top of the cake mix. 4. For the topping: Mix in the brown and white sugar, sweetened coconut, and stir in the butter. Add the flour to the mix and stir. The topping will become very crumbly. Turn to wax or parchment paper and let it sit for about 10­-15 minutes so the crumbs can dry out a bit. Sprinkle the crumbs on top of the filling ( I didn't use all the crumbs for my personal taste). Bake in the oven for 35-­40 minutes. Make sure not to over bake as the center won't be as gooey. Allow to cool and cut into squares.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use real butter instead of margarine.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can grate the butter and sugar together with a cheese grater.
  • Make sure the butter and cream cheese are very cold before you start baking. This will help the bars set properly.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the bars tough.
  • Bake the bars until they are just set in the center. Overbaking will make them dry.
  • Let the bars cool completely before you cut them. This will help them hold their shape.
