How to Make Creamy Lime Coconut Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup lime juice, 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, 2 tablespoons lime zest, and a few drops of green food coloring (optional). Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup chopped nuts (pecans or macadamia nuts recommended).
  4. Cut in 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Press the crumb mixture evenly into an ungreased 9x13 inch baking pan.
  6. Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  7. Pour the lime filling mixture evenly over the hot, partially baked crust.
  8. Sprinkle generously with 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut.
  9. Bake for an additional 15-17 minutes, or until the filling is set and no longer jiggles.
  10. Let the bars cool completely in the pan before refrigerating for at least 2 hours to allow them to set completely.
  11. Cut into squares and serve chilled.
