Ingredients
For the Crust:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- A pinch of salt
For the Filling:
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- ¾ cup sweetened condensed milk
- ¼ cup lime juice

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, combine the flour, softened butter, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.
- Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove and let it cool slightly.

- Spread the coconut-lime filling evenly over the baked crust. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden.
- Allow the bars to cool in the pan for about 30 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 1 hour before slicing into squares. Enjoy these delightful Coconut Lime Bars!
Notes
- Ensure even crust thickness for uniform baking.
- Use fresh lime zest and juice for vibrant citrus flavor.
- Chill bars before slicing for clean and neat squares.
