Coconut-Lime Crumble Bars
Lemon bars go tropical in these easy treats, which combines coconut, macadamia nuts, and lime for a bar that satisfies a craving for a dessert and a Caribbean vacation. Well, almost. These are just sweet enough, avoiding the cloying fate of so many bar cookies, thanks to the salty macadamias and toasty coconut. Hot tip: You want the curd to be just set when you pull it out of the oven to ensure a creamy texture. Once you get the hang of the method you can swap in different citruses and nuts to DIY your own bars. Try a grapefruit-almond combo, or a lemon-cashew twist.
