Equipment
Ingredients
Crust:
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup butter melted (I use salted butter)
Filling:
- 3 large eggs
- 1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
- ½ cup all purpose flour
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup melted butter
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp salt
- 4 cups sweetened shredded coconut divided
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9x13" baking dish with parchment paper.
- For the crust, stir together the flour, brown sugar, and salt in a small bowl. Melt the butter and stir into the dry ingredients.
- Press the crust into the pan and bake at 350° for 15 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes while you prepare the filling.
- For the filling, whisk together the eggs, sweetened condensed milk, flour, brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla, and salt. Stir in 3 cups of the coconut flakes.
- Pour the filling over the warm crust. Sprinkle the last cup of coconut evenly on top of the filling.
- Turn the heat down to 325°, and bake for another 30-35 minutes, or until set in the middle and golden brown around the edges.
- Let cool completely before cutting into squares.
Notes
- Leftover bars can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
- For chocolate coconut bars, stir in chocolate chips, or drizzle melted chocolate over the cooled bars.
