Dulce De Leche Bars image

A creamy center fills a shortbread-like buttery crust with a crumble-pecan coconut topping. This is a favorite with my family, boyfriend and at my workplace (a bakery!). Best served cool or room temperature.

Time 55m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
⅔ cup white sugar
1 egg
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
1 (12.5 fl oz) can dulce de leche
1 cup shredded coconut
¾ cup pecans, toasted and chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan thoroughly.
  • Blend butter and sugar with an electric mixer until combined and creamy. Add egg and vanilla extract; beat until incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and beat again. Combine flour and salt. Add to the butter mixture and mix until a ball of dough forms.
  • Press 2/3 of the dough into the bottom of the baking pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until set and light brown, about 20 minutes.
  • Pour dulce de leche over the crust, trying to keep the edges mostly bare.
  • Add coconut and pecans to the remaining dough and mix until incorporated. Crumble mixture over the dulce de leche, pressing it lightly over the top.
  • Bake until lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Let cool completely before cutting into bars.
