Dessert! Tequila Lime Coconut Bars.

April 25, 2013 4 Comments

I am in Cinco de Mayo mode around here, I tell ya!  Mexican food, tequila drinks, hanging out with friends… it’s been fun!   On Monday I shared my tips for an easy Cinco de Mayo Girls’ Night In, and that I asked friends to bring an appetizer or a dessert to the party.

My friend Shannon shared her Mexicorn Dip and my friend Michelle brought these fabulous Tequila Lime Coconut Bars for dessert.  Oh, my word are they good!

 
Tequila-Lime-Coconut Bars
2 cups flour, divided
2 cups sugar, divided
1/2 cup cold butter cut into pieces
4 eggs
1 1/2 cups flaked coconut
1 tsp lime zest
1/2 cup lime juice
3 Tbsp tequila
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
powdered sugar, for dusting the top* Preheat oven to 350. Line 13 x 9 pan with heavy foil, fold over the sides (so you can lift the bars out later) lightly grease foil.
* Stir 1 3/4 cups flour and 1/2 cup sugar. Cut in the butter with a pastry blender or fork until crumbly. Press mixture to the bottom of the pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes until lightly browned.
* While the crust is baking, whisk eggs in a medium bowl until smooth, mix in coconut, lime zest, lime juice, tequila and the remaining 1 1/2 cups of sugar. Stir baking powder, salt and remaining 1/4 cup flour. Whisk into the egg mixture. Pour over the hot crust.
* Bake at 350 for an additional 25 minutes or until filling is set. Let cool 1 hour.

* Lift from pan and remove foil. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.  Cut into bars and serve.
I like that she sprinkled a little bit of the lime zest over the top for some added color, too.  So pretty!

I haven’t made these yet, myself, but I can assure you that I gobbled down several of the ones that she brought to Girls’ Night In, and they were delish!

Thanks for sharing this dessert with us, Michelle!

Cheers!
