COCONUT LIME BUTTER BARS
Coconut Lime Butter Bars have an amazing buttery brown sugar crust with a lime filling and topped with coconut flakes. These are the perfect cool and creamy summer bars!
HOW DO I MAKE COCONUT LIME BUTTER BARS?
- To start, make your buttery crust. Mix together flour, brown sugar, and melted butter. Press into your 8×8 inch pan and bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.
- Next, make your lime filling. Add egg yolks, sweetened condensed milk, zest of one lime, and lime juice. Pour over crust.
- Lastly, top with coconut. Bake for about 15 minutes until the center is set. Let cool completely and chill in the fridge before serving.
DO I HAVE TO PUT THESE BARS IN THE FRIDGE?
Once they cool, you can cut them and serve right away. I like to serve mine chilled.
