Time 1h30m

Yield Makes 64 bars

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces, plus more, softened, for pan
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons light-brown sugar
Rounded 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 cup finely shredded desiccated unsweetened coconut
3 ounces white chocolate, coarsely chopped (about 1/2 cup)
3 large eggs, room temperature
2/3 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2/3 cup fresh Key lime juice or regular lime juice
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Crust: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly butter an 8-inch square baking pan. Line bottom and 2 sides of pan with parchment, leaving a 1-inch overhang; lightly butter the parchment.
  • Combine flour, brown sugar, and salt in a food processor, and pulse a few times to combine. Add butter, and pulse until largest pieces are the size of peas. Add coconut and white chocolate, and pulse a few more times, just until mixture holds together. Transfer mixture to pan, and pack down firmly with the bottom of a measuring cup. Bake until crust is deep golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from oven, and reduce heat to 300 degrees.
  • Filling: Whisk together eggs and granulated sugar in a bowl, then whisk in flour. Gently stir in lime juice (do not whisk or stir vigorously or batter will become foamy).
  • Pour filling over hot crust, and bake until filling is set, about 15 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Run the tip of a knife along the 2 sides of the pan not lined with parchment, then remove from pan by lifting with parchment overhang. Transfer to a cutting board, dust with confectioners' sugar, and cut into 1-inch squares.

KEY LIME COCONUT BARK



Key Lime Coconut Bark image

I have been looking around to find some different recipes to make for Easter this year and when I went to the candy store today and saw the key lime crunch I knew I had to make some bark with it. Hope you will enjoy it as much as my family and friends did. I also loved the green color of the Key Lime Crunch and thought it...

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 lb super white candy chocolate
3/4 c sweetened coconut
1 small bag of key lime crunch (found at candy store)

Steps:

  • 1. In the picture above, I have candy with coconut and without. Some of my family doesn't like coconut so I just have the key lime crunch in it.
  • 2. Melt down your white chocolate in a double broiler or the microwave. Then, add your coconut and stir until well coated. Now pour the mixture on to a wax paper that you have placed on a cookie sheet. Spread out the chocolate with a spoon until desired thickness of your bark. Now, sprinkle the key lime on top of the chocolate while it is still melted. Place in the refrigerator 10 minutes or just wait till it drys on the counter.
  • 3. Pick up the piece of Key Lime Coconut Bark and break into pieces. That's it, your done. Enjoy.
  • 4. (I really like this with the coconut because of the sweetness mixed with the tart key lime is a nice contrast and tastes really well together.)
