There is coconut in this lemon bar recipe, but rest assured it is not a dominant flavor. If you would like, you can also up the amount of zest for a more prominent lemon flavor.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 24 servings

Crust:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 cup cold butter, cut into pieces

  • ½ cup powdered sugar

Filling:

  • 2 cups white sugar

  • 1 cup flaked coconut

  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour

  • 4 large eggs

  • 2 medium lemons, zested and juiced

  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder

  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar, or to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 9x13-inch pan with parchment paper.

  2. Combine flour, butter, and powdered sugar for crust in a food processor; pulse until fine crumbles form. Press into the prepared pan.

  3. Bake crust in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.

  4. Meanwhile, combine sugar, coconut, flour, eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice, and baking powder in a bowl.

  5. Remove crust from the oven and pour filling over top. Return to the oven and bake until just golden around the edges, 20 to 25 minutes more.

  6. Remove from the oven and let cool, about 30 minutes. Place in the refrigerator until completely chilled, about 2 hours. Dust with powdered sugar and cut into 24 bars.
