    Luscious lemon brownies topped with coconut butter cream and toasted coconut

    Lime and coconut is probably my favorite flavor combination. I have made Lime Coconut Pound Cake, Tequila Coconut Lime Cream Bars, and made a massive 6 layer lime and coconut cake for my sister's graduation.

    The slight tartness from the lime combined with the sweet chewiness of the coconut just works...beautifully. I made these for a 2-day event last weekend and they were gone within the 1st hour with people begging me to bring more on day two.

      Tell the truth: do you make all these lime and coconut desserts because you like the flavor, or so you can sing "Put the lime in the coconut and mix it all up!" over and over again?

      Either way, I can't deny that these are some good-looking bars!
