Time 1h10m

Yield 2 dozen bars

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/4 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, cut in tbsp
3 tablespoons cold water
2 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
2 2/3 cups shredded coconut (7 oz. bag)
1/3 cup seedless red raspberry preserves

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Combine the flour and salt in a medium bowl; cut in the butter until coarse crumbs form.
  • Sprinkle the water over the mixture while tossing to blend well.
  • Press mixture evenly onto the bottom of an ungreased 9-inch square baking pan; bake for 20 minutes, or until lightly browned.
  • Reduce oven to 350°F.
  • Using an electric mixer on high speed, beat the eggs in a large bowl.
  • Gradually add the sugar, beating until thick and lemon-colored.
  • Gently stir in the coconut.
  • Spread the preserves over the baked crust to within 1/4 inch of the edges.
  • Carefully spread the coconut mixture over the preserves; bake 25 minutes more, or until golden brown.
  • Cool completely before cutting into bars.

I'm not a big fan of coconut, but these bars were still really good. The raspberries were tart and the crust was flaky.

The crust was a little dry, but the filling was delicious. I would recommend using a different type of crust.

These bars were a bit too sweet for me, but they were still good. I would recommend using less sugar in the filling.
