While chocolate is my usual go-to when craving something sweet, I have to admit, I can’t resist anything where lemon shines. Lemon bars are something we all love around here but the addition of coconut just makes it even better.
These buttery lemon coconut bars have a shortbread crust that just melts in your mouth. Lemon and coconut are definitely a combo that work so well together. Add in the butter and you have something decadent and delicious. The taste of lemon is is enhanced by not only the juice of the lemon but the zest.
These don’t last long so I recommend doubling the recipe so you can delay the sadness you may feel when the last square is gone. I speak from experience.
