The second week at College Camp Angelgirl (my daughter) had a class called “Kids in the Kitchen International.” So every day she was bringing home goodies for us to sample. (First week she had the chocolate class, I shared the Chocolate Chip Biscotti recipe last week).
Here is a wonderful Key Lime Coconut Bar recipe she made. (It is NOT diet friendly, but yummy!)
Coconut Butter Crust
1 3/4 cups flour, 1/4 cup confectioner’s sugar, 1/4 tsp salt, 1 1/2 cup flaked coconut, 3/4 cup plus 2 Tbsp unsalted butter cut into pieces, 1 egg, 1 tsp vanilla extract
Lime Filling
6 eggs, 3 cups sguar, 1 Tbsp lime zest, 1 cup lime jice, 1 tsp. baking powder, 1/2 cup flour
For Crust:
