Made these for a Jimmy Buffet concert a few years ago (hmmmm, might have to recreate that menu and post it) and came home with NONE! Didn't expect to. Definitely a Parrothead dessert!
Ingredients:
2 cups flour
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 cup butter, room temperature
4 large eggs
2 cups sugar
4 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
5 tablespoons lime juice, key lime
1 1/2 cups coconut flakes
1 teaspoon lime zest, grated
powdered sugar & toasted coconut, for garnish
Directions:
1. Grease and lightly flour a 9 x 13 baking pan. In a food processor, combine 2 cups flour, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, and the butter. Pat evenly into pan. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 325.
2. Beat eggs in a medium bowl. Add 2 cups sugar, 4 tablespoons flour, baking powder, Key lime juice, coconut and lime zest. Stir until well-mixed. Pour mixture over baked crust.
3. Bake in preheated 325 degree oven until top is firm, about 35 minutes. Let cool slightly. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and toasted coconut.
4. Cut while still a little warm.
