Light And Dreamy Orange Bars Recipes

Steps:

• For the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch pan with butter.
• Stir together the flour, granulated sugar and salt in a bowl. Add the butter to the bowl and use a pastry cutter to cut it all together until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. Press into the prepared pan and bake until golden around the edges, about 20 minutes.
• For the filling: Stir together the granulated sugar and flour in a bowl. Crack in the eggs and whisk to combine. Add the orange zest and juice and mix until combined. Pour over the crust and bake until the filling is set, about 20 minutes.
• Allow to cool in the fridge for a minimum of 2 hours, then sift powdered sugar over the top before cutting into 16 pieces.

Steps:

• In medium bowl, beat pudding mix and orange juice with wire whisk 2 minutes. Refrigerate 5 minutes. Fold in whipped topping.
• Into 4 dessert dishes, divide pudding mixture. Top with crushed granola bars and orange segments.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In the bowl of a stand mixer or large bowl, cream butter and 1/2 cup of the sugar until creamy. Add in 1 cup of the flour and mix until it resembles crumbs. Press into the bottom of a 9 x 13 (I used a 9 x 12 throw away tin pan) and bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool. In the (cleaned) bowl of a stand mixer or medium mixing bowl, place eggs and beat until light and lemon-colored; then gradually beat in the remaining 1 cup sugar. Beat in the vanilla; remaining 2 Tbl. flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir in the coconut and nuts until thoroughly combined. Pour coconut mixture over the top of the crust, spreading evenly. Return to oven and bake for 20 minutes or until topping is golden. Cool completely. To make the frosting, beat butter and powdered sugar until creamy. Add vanilla and orange peel, mix until smooth. Beat in enough orange juice to make a good spreading consistency. Frost bars. The original recipe calls for cutting the bars before frosting so that you don't crack the frosting while cutting the bars, but I didn't have that problem, because I just made sure the frosting was set before cutting, and lets face it, I'm not giving these to critics so it's really okay if they are a little cracked looking, they are still delish! And in case you were wondering, here's what my book looks like after years of use. And I can still read the recipes so that's all that counts! Serves - 2 dozen Enjoy!
