I told you we love pie and by that I mean we LOVE it! Without a doubt, it’s probably the most loved dessert at our house, well, next to ice cream. In particular, this lime pie is super smooth and delicious, but may not always feed a crowd.
So, my solution is making it in my beloved 9×13 pan. I added coconut to the crust, cream of coconut and coconut extract to the whipped cream and garnished it with toasted coconut. So refreshing and perfect for serving to your Easter guests. You are welcome.
A tip for cutting bars like these (or brownies and such) is to line the pan with foil and leaving a little to hang over the edges of the pan. After baking and chilling, if needed, pull it all from the pan using the foil handles you left hanging over the edge. Place it on a flexible cutting board
and use your handy bench scraper
to cut it cleanly into squares. Neat and easy!

Coconut Lime Pie Bars
by Becca {Crumbs and Chaos
Ingredients
Crust:
- 18 whole GRAHAM CRACKERS
- 1 cup SHREDDED COCONUT
- 1/3 cup SUGAR
- 1/3 cup BUTTER, melted
Filling:
- 1 cup BOTTLED KEY LIME JUICE (like Nellie & Joe’s)
- 4 EGG YOLKS
- 2 (14 oz.) cans SWEETENED CONDENSED MILK
Whipped Cream:
- 1 1/2 cups COLD WHIPPING CREAM
- 1/4 cup + 1 Tablespoon COCONUT CREAM
- 2 heaping Tablespoons POWDERED SUGAR
- 1 teaspoon VANILLA EXTRACT
- 2 drops COCONUT EXTRACT (optional)
- 1/2 cup COCONUT, toasted
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°. Line a 9×13 baking pan with foil.
Place graham crackers and coconut in the bowl of your food processor. Pulse until crushed into crumbs. Add sugar and melted butter, pulse to combine. Press into prepared pan and bake for about 6 minutes or until golden. Remove from oven to cool slightly.
Mix lime juice and egg yolks in a mixing bowl. Add sweetened condensed milk and beat on high until smooth and thick. Pour into crust and bake for 15-18 minutes, you want the middle to be just set.
Remove from oven, allow to cool and refrigerate for at least an hour or more if possible.
Beat together whipping cream, coconut cream, powdered sugar and extracts until soft peaks form. Spread on top of chilled pie. Remove from pan using edge of foil. Cut into bars. Sprinkle with toasted coconut.
