Put the lime in the coconut

By in food

Or maybe the other way around? I have been trying recently to expand my horizons by cooking food outside my comfort zone. This means baking-mostly-non out of the box deserts. I’ve already made 2 of these apple cakes (which really are the best apple cake I’ve ever had and it gets totally eaten here-unusual) in the past weeks, but cake is easy, it’s something I am familiar with. So today I decided to do bars. BARS! Oh, not just bars, these are lime coconut bars and trust me, they are delicious. Oh, so incredibly delicious.

lime squares

I love sweet and tangy at the same time, so good. I’ll make lemon bars next time!

    Our ovens have so much in common! First the apple cake, now the lime bars ;-)

    I’m so glad you enjoyed these as much as I did. I highly recommend making these rosemary apricot bars next: http://gastronomyblog.com/2009/09/10/rosemary-apricot-bars/ They are totally different and very delish!

    Lemon bars are the best! Have you ever made lemon curd before? It’s a little time consuming, but it’s soooooooooooooooooo good!

    They weren’t what I would call easy but they were totally worth the effort! (Oh, and I used WW AP flour, ’cause that’s what we have and it only took 4 limes to make all the juice I needed).
