Hi everyone.  I am so excited to share these Coconut Key Lime Cookie Bars today because I made them in celebration of a very special event.  My friend Zainab over at Blahnik Baker is expecting a baby!!  So a bunch of us food bloggers got together to have a virtual baby shower in Zainab’s honor!

You need to go check out Zainab’s site!  It is dedicated to yummy recipes that often feature a tropical theme.  You’ll also get fashion advice as Zainab has a great sense of style.  When you head over to her site, Blahnikbaker.com make sure to tell her “congratulations” on her upcoming arrival!

So for Zainab’s virtual shower, I decided to bake up a batch of Coconut Key Lime Cookie Bars.  Zainab loves both coconut and key lime so I knew that this combination would make the perfect treat for her shower.

These cookie bars come together very easily because I used a roll of Pillsbury refrigerated cookie bars as the base.  The filling is creamy, cool, and flavorful and the coconut sprinkle topping gives just the right amount of texture on top of the smooth filling.

There is very little prep work for these bars.  The only thing that would require a little bit of effort on your part is to hand squeeze a few limes.  Which I highly recommend over using bottled lime juice because the flavor of freshly squeezed limes is far superior.

A little hand tool like the Amco Squeezer shown above goes a long way in making your task easier and I highly recommend it.

I couldn’t be more thrilled for Zainab and I know she would just love these creamy and tangy Coconut Key Lime Bars for her virtual shower.  Make sure to head over to Zainab’s site and congratulate her yourself!

And make sure to check out all the other coconut and tropical inspired dishes made by other great bloggers who participated in Zainab’s shower.  By the time you are done perusing, you will be headed off to the store to buy a few bags of coconut to whip up a few of these great recipes yourself, and I can’t say I blame you!  😉

Coconut Key Lime Cookie Bars

Ingredients

  • 1 Pillsbury refrigerated sugar cookie roll
  • 1 can of condensed milk
  • 1/2 c. fresh lime juice
  • 1 drop of green food color
  • 1/4 c. sweetened coconut flakes

Instructions

  1. Pre heat the oven to 350*
  2. Line a 9x9 baking pan with foil. Unroll the cookie dough and press it into the foil lined pan. Bake for 16-18 minutes.
  3. In the meantime, stir the condensed milk and lime juice together in a medium bowl. Add the drop of green food color, stirring until well mixed.
  4. Pour the lime mixture over the top of the hot cookie layer that you just removed from the oven. Spread evenly. Sprinkle shredded coconut over the top and return to the oven for approximately 16 minutes longer or until the lime mixture no longer jiggles and the coconut is beginning to brown.
  5. Place the pan on a cooling rack to cool for 30 minutes. Loosely cover with foil and place in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving.
