Ingredients
  

1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1 cup graham cracker crumbs

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1/3 cup honey or agave syrup

1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2-3 lemons)

Zest of 1 lemon

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

Optional: whipped cream or coconut cream for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pan: Line an 8x8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later. This will help you lift the bars out once set.

    Mix the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, graham cracker crumbs, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture is well combined and resembles wet sand.

      Press the Base: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Using a spatula or your hands, firmly press the mixture into an even layer across the bottom of the dish. Make sure it is tightly packed for stability.

        Make the Filling: In another bowl, whisk together the fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until the sugar is dissolved, and the mixture is smooth.

          Combine the Mixtures: Pour the lemon mixture over the pressed coconut base, spreading it evenly. Use a spatula to smooth the top, if necessary.

            Chill: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the squares are firm and set.

              Slice and Serve: Once set, remove the squares from the baking dish using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into squares or rectangles. Serve fresh with a dollop of whipped cream or coconut cream, if desired.

                Enjoy: These Coconut Lemon Bliss Squares are best enjoyed chilled and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
