Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.75 cups unsalted butter
- 3 large ripe peaches
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang to easily lift out the bars later.
In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Cut in the butter using a pastry cutter or your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
While the crust is baking, peel and dice the peaches into small chunks. Set aside.
In a large bowl, mix the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and sweetened shredded coconut until well combined.
Spread the diced peaches evenly over the slightly cooled crust. Pour the coconut mixture over the peaches and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake for 25-28 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and set.
Remove from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, lift them out using the parchment overhang, then cut into 12 bars.
Serve and enjoy! These bars can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days or refrigerated for longer freshness.
