Lemon Curd Bars with Coconut image

This bar has the two crusts as requested, and has a strong tangy lemon taste, so much better than most of the lemon bar recipes out there due to the lemon curd and added coconut!

I'm not sure why this recipe has such high ratings. I found it to be bland and uninspired.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my bars didn't turn out as good as the pictures. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These bars are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still pretty good.

I'm not a huge fan of coconut, but I really enjoyed these bars. The lemon curd is the star of the show.

The lemon curd filling is perfectly tart and the coconut crust is a nice contrast.
