Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups (150g) shredded unsweetened coconut
- ½ cup (1 stick, 113g) unsalted butter, melted
- ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
- Pinch of salt
- 1 (14-ounce) can (397g) sweetened condensed milk
- ½ cup (120ml) Key lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- Pinch of salt
Instructions:
- Spread the shredded coconut on a baking sheet and toast in a preheated oven until golden brown, stirring occasionally.
- Combine the toasted coconut, melted butter, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Press firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan, lined with parchment paper.
- Bake the crust until lightly golden. Let it cool completely before adding the filling.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, Key lime juice, egg yolks, lime zest, and salt until smooth.
- Pour the filling over the cooled crust. Bake until the filling is set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- Let the bars cool completely at room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours before slicing and serving.
