How to Make Snowdrift Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium saucepan, melt 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter over low heat.
- Stir in 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until dissolved.
- Whisk in 2 large eggs lightly beaten, and 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut.
- Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly (about 5 minutes).
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Let cool completely.
- In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup finely chopped pecans (optional), and a pinch of salt.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the cooled coconut mixture until just combined.
- Press the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
- Let cool completely before frosting.
- **For the Cream Cheese Frosting:** In a mixing bowl, beat together 4 ounces cream cheese (softened), ¼ cup unsalted butter (softened), and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add 2-3 cups powdered sugar, beating until light and fluffy. Add more powdered sugar if needed to reach desired consistency.
- Spread frosting evenly over the cooled bars.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before cutting and serving. Refrigerate leftover frosting separately.
