CREAMY LIME COCONUT BARS



Creamy Lime Coconut Bars image

This recipe came from Land O Lakes butter. I had to try them once just to see if they were as good as they sound, and believe me, they didn't last in my house past two days. I ate a big hunk every time I got hungry. Yes, I know, fully sugared, but everyone deserves a treat!

This dairy-free recipe can be made as bars or a pie - it's thick, creamy, and full of limey goodness. Be sure to keep it refrigerated, as it relies on coconut oil to keep its shape.

These creamy and sweet lime bars are a lovely choice when you want a refreshing treat. They are like a key lime pie in bar form (and will transport your taste buds to The Keys). The crust is a little salty and sweet. It's the perfect complement to the tart and sweet lime filling. Yum!
