Comment préparer Luscious Lemon Coconut Meringue Squares

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9x13 inch baking pan by greasing and flouring it.
In a medium bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Gradually add 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour and ¼ teaspoon salt, mixing until just combined.
Press dough evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until lightly golden.
While the crust is baking, prepare the lemon filling: Whisk together ½ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup cornstarch, and a pinch of salt in a medium saucepan.
Gradually whisk in 1 cup water until smooth. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly.
Reduce heat to low and stir in 1 cup lemon juice and 2 tablespoons lemon zest. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until thickened.
Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons (1 ounce) unsalted butter. Let cool slightly.
Spread the cooled lemon filling evenly over the baked crust.
For the meringue, beat 4 large egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form.
Gradually add 1 cup granulated sugar, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
Gently fold in 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut.
Spread the meringue evenly over the lemon filling.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the meringue is lightly golden brown and firm to the touch.
Let cool completely before cutting into squares.
