The method focuses on maximizing flavor with minimal steps, using common pantry items and fresh ingredients. From the first bite you’ll notice a balance of texture and taste that feels both familiar and exciting.

Small details—like resting time or layering ingredients—make a noticeable difference in the final dish. This recipe is designed to be flexible. You can swap in seasonal produce, adjust spices to match your preferences, or adapt the base to suit dietary needs. The goal is to keep the spirit of the dish while letting you tailor it to your kitchen. Serving ideas are wide open: pair with a crisp salad, roasted vegetables, warm bread, or your favorite grains. Leftovers store well and often taste even better the next day as flavors settle. That makes the recipe suitable for meal prep and busy schedules.

With these principles, Tropical Coconut Lime Bliss Bars becomes a reliable addition to your rotation—crowd-pleasing, practical, and full of flavor.
INGREDIENTS
For the Crust:
1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup (20g) shredded sweetened coconut
For the Filling:
3 large eggs
1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
1/4 cup (30g) all-purpose flour
1/4 cup (60ml) freshly squeezed lime juice (about 2-3 limes)
1 teaspoon lime zest
PREPARATION STEPS
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving overhangs on the sides for easy removal.
Prepare the Crust:
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, butter, and shredded coconut
Mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs
Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan to create the crust.
Bake the Crust:
Bake for 15 minutes, or until lightly golden and set. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly while you prepare the filling.
Make the Filling:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, flour, lime juice, and lime zest until smooth. Ensure no lumps remain for a silky texture.
Assemble the Bars:
Pour the lime filling over the warm crust, spreading it evenly.
Bake Again:
Return the pan to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly firm to the touch.
Cool and Slice:
Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan
Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhangs to lift the bars out
Dust with powdered sugar for a decorative finish before slicing into squares or rectangles.
Serve and Enjoy:
Serve chilled or at room temperature for a burst of tropical flavor in every bite.
Pro Tip: Add a teaspoon of coconut extract to the crust for an extra layer of tropical richness. Garnish with lime slices or toasted coconut for a polished presentation.
