Tropical Chill Coconut Lime Bars
These Tropical Chill Coconut Lime Bars combine a crunchy graham cracker crust with a zesty lime filling, offering a bright and refreshing dessert experience.
Ingredients
For the crust
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 0.5 cups melted butter
- 0.25 cups sugar
For the filling
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 ounces)
- 1 cups shredded coconut Can substitute with flaked coconut for a bigger chew.
- 0.5 cups lime juice Freshly squeezed for best flavor.
- 2 pieces lime zest
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until well mixed. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 9×9-inch baking dish to form the crust.
- In another bowl, mix the sweetened condensed milk, shredded coconut, lime juice, lime zest, and salt until smooth.
- Pour the coconut-lime mixture over the crust and spread evenly.
Baking
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the filling is set and lightly golden on top.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely. Cut into bars and serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
Let the bars cool completely to avoid a wobbly filling. If the top gets too brown, tent with foil. For more tartness, add a teaspoon more lime juice if desired.
