Toasted Coconut Lime Bars

Filed Under: dessert, vegan Tagged With: bars, coconut, coconut oil, lime

Tart, tangy lime curd filling atop a tender toasted coconut shortbread crust, these Toasted Coconut Lime Bars a real treat!
It Bakes Me Happy: Toasted Coconut Lime Bars
As I promised on Monday today I’m sharing the recipe for the Toasted Coconut Lime Bars we enjoyed with our family a few weeks ago. They were a hit with the family, I had to quickly set a couple aside just so I could photograph them for you all. Lucky me that meant I had dessert for a couple of days afterwards, one of the perks of taking pictures later than I typically do.
These have a different taste and texture than your typical lemon bar, which I really enjoyed. So if you like lime, then you are going to love these bars; tart and tangy, with just enough sweetness. Enjoy and happy baking!
