My daughters both love lemon and coconut desserts. Does anyone have some recipes they can share that combine the two flavors?
Lemon and coconut do taste good together. I make these once in awhile and I think they are good.
Here is what you need.
For the Botton Crust:
1/2 cup softened margarine
1/2 cup brown sugar
1-1/2 cups flour
For the Top:
3 eggs, separated
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup lemon juice
2 Tablespoons grated lemon rind
2 Tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups shredded coconut
Mix the first 3 ingredients together until it is crumbly and then press it down firmly into the bottom of a 13 x 9 pan. Bake at 325 for 10 to 15 minutes. Edges will get slightly brown.
Then combine the egg yolks, 1/2 cup of the sugar, lemon juice and rind, baking powder, and salt. Stir in coconut. In another bowl beat egg whites with remaining sugar until stiff peaks form then gently add it to your already mixed ingredients. Then spread it over the bottom crust.
Bake it for 20 to 25 more minutes and then let it cool and serve!!
