Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams unsalted butter
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 125 grams all-purpose flour
- 50 grams shredded sweetened coconut
- 3 large eggs
- 150 grams granulated sugar (for filling)
- 1 tablespoon lime zest
- 80 milliliters lime juice
- 30 grams all-purpose flour (for filling)
- 25 grams shredded sweetened coconut (for topping)
- 10 grams powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the sides for easy removal.
In a medium bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy. Slowly add the all-purpose flour and mix until crumbly. Fold in the shredded sweetened coconut.
Press the crust mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly while preparing the filling.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and granulated sugar (for filling) until smooth. Add the lime zest, lime juice, and all-purpose flour (for filling), and whisk until fully combined and free of lumps.
Pour the lime filling over the pre-baked crust, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the additional shredded sweetened coconut (for topping) over the filling.
Bake the squares for 20-22 minutes, or until the filling is set and does not jiggle when gently shaken. The top should be lightly golden.
Allow the Coconut Lime Squares to cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.
Using the parchment paper overhang, lift the squares out of the pan. Slice into 9 equal squares. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired, before serving.
Enjoy these tangy, tropical Coconut Lime Squares as a delightful dessert or snack!
