Had lunch today at my sister Terri's house. She is an AMAZING baker...she totally leaves me in the dust when it comes to baking. I told her I am not leaving your house without recipe in hand...and a lemon bar in another!
I mean to tell you here...This is NOT your regular lemon bar...these bars are laced with coconut. Okay it's true I am on a crazy coconut kick...(A trip to Hawaii might help...ahhhh). Anyway...This dessert is amazing when served with a steaming hot cup of coffee....Minnesota style...as in really hot!
The crust is like eating grandma's shortbread butter cookies, the lemon filling tart and the frosting DIVINE!
Have fun...you are going to love these.
