Time 50m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup finely ground almond flour
¼ cup low-calorie natural sweetener (such as Swerve®)
2 tablespoons coconut flour
1 teaspoon lime zest
¼ teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons butter, softened
1 cup lime juice
½ cup coconut milk
½ cup low-calorie natural powdered sweetener (such as Swerve®)
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon lime zest
5 large eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.

Tequila-Lime-Coconut Macaroon Bars image

From Southern Living magazine, April 2011. I've not tried this recipe, but it sounds really good. NOTE: This recipe has quite a bit of sugar in it, so for my family, I would personally experiment with it using Splenda to cut the sugar for a diabetic dessert. I would also use gluten-free AP flour.

VEGAN FROZEN COCONUT LIME BARS



Vegan Frozen Coconut Lime Bars image

Inspired by frozen Key lime pie, this simple summertime treat is for vegans and dairy-lovers alike. The no-bake graham cracker crust gets topped with softened store-bought, dairy-free ice cream mixed with shredded coconut and fresh lime juice for a dessert that's as easy to put together as it is delicious. Be sure to use unsweetened, finely shredded (also called desiccated) coconut for this recipe; regular shredded or flaked coconut will be too coarse.

Provided by Lidey Heuck

Categories     ice creams and sorbets, dessert

Time 4h

Yield 9 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Nonstick cooking spray
1 1/2 cups/180 grams graham cracker crumbs (from about 12 graham cracker sheets)
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as needed
1/2 cup/45 grams unsweetened, desiccated coconut
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon/95 milliliters coconut oil, at room temperature
2 pints/1 liter coconut or vanilla flavored non-dairy ice cream (preferably a brand made with coconut milk)
2 limes, zested, plus 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice

Steps:

  • Spray a 9-by-9-inch pan with cooking spray and line with two overlapping sheets of parchment paper to create overhang on all sides.
  • Combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar and salt in a medium bowl. Place the shredded coconut in a small skillet and toast over medium heat for about 3 minutes, tossing often, until light golden brown. Add half the coconut to the bowl with the graham cracker crumbs, reserving the other half for later.
  • Add the coconut oil to the graham cracker crumb mixture and toss with your hands until the crumbs are evenly moistened. Transfer to the prepared pan and press into an even layer, packing the crust lightly with the bottom of a measuring cup. Freeze for 30 to 45 minutes, until the crust is firm to the touch.
  • Meanwhile, allow the ice cream to sit at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes, until slightly softened. Spoon the ice cream into a large mixing bowl and add the zest of 1 lime, the lime juice, the reserved toasted shredded coconut and a pinch of salt. Working quickly, mix with a spatula until combined and smooth.
  • Scrape the mixture onto the frozen crust and spread into an even layer using an offset spatula.
  • Cover the pan with plastic wrap and freeze until firm, at least 3 hours, or overnight.
  • To serve, lift the overhanging parchment paper to remove the bars and place on a cutting board. Zest the remaining lime over the bars, cut into squares and serve immediately.
