A delightful twist on a classic treat, these Coconut Bliss Bars combine the richness of coconut with a hint of citrus for a truly indulgent dessert.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Always preheat your oven to ensure even baking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the powdered sugar and softened butter until smooth.
Ensure the butter is softened for easier mixing.
Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the mixture and blend until a dough forms.
Mix until just combined to avoid overworking the dough.
Press the dough evenly into an ungreased 13x9-inch baking pan.
Use a flat utensil or your hands to ensure an even layer.
Bake the base layer in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden.
Keep an eye on the edges to prevent overbaking.
In another mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, brown sugar, and vanilla extract.
Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Add the flour, baking powder, and salt to the egg mixture and blend well.
Sift the dry ingredients for a smoother texture.
Fold in the chopped walnuts, flaked coconut, and lemon juice.
Gently fold to maintain the texture of the mixture.
Spread the topping mixture evenly over the baked base layer.
Ensure the topping covers the base completely for even baking.
Bake the assembled bars for an additional 20 minutes, or until set.
Test doneness by lightly touching the center; it should feel firm.
Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
Use a sharp knife for clean cuts and serve with a smile.
