Ingredients
Crust
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup butter, melted
- ½ tsp salt
Filling
- 3 large eggs at room temperature
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup butter, melted
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp salt
- 3 cups sweetened shredded coconut
Topping
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
Instructions
- Make the Base: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and line it with parchment paper. In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the flour, brown sugar, melted butter, and a pinch of salt. Stir until everything is evenly incorporated and the texture becomes crumbly. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form a uniform crust. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden. Remove from the oven and set it aside to cool.
- Prepare the Filling : In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until lightly beaten. Add the sweetened condensed milk, flour, brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until smooth and well blended.
- Assemble the Bars : Pour the coconut filling over the pre-baked crust, spreading it evenly to the edges. Sprinkle the additional 1 cup of shredded coconut evenly over the top of the filling.
- Bake the Bars : Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set.
- Serve and Enjoy : Once cooled, slice into squares or bars. These coconut bars are perfect for serving as a dessert or a sweet snack.
