• My Note:Wine: Sweet White Wine: Enjoy this with a sweet white wine such as Moscato or a sweet Riesling.
• UPDATE: I thought they needed to be a little sweeter and wanted the coconut more on top and not in the bars. I made them again and OMG I want to eat the whole pan! This is what I did different. Instead of 1/2 cup lemon juice, I used 1/4 cup lemon juice and 1/4 cup orange juice. I also cooked it with the filling for about 10 minutes, then added the coconut and cooked for about 10-12 minutes more. The coconut went in the batter but also stayed on top some and got a little toasted. These were sooooooo good, I will be making them again and again with the modifications.
• However, if it was a little too sweet so I might reduce the amount of sugar I put inches Otherwise, it was yummy. The picture looks a lot different than the way it turned out. Next time I will probably sprinkle the coconut on it as soon as I take it out of the oven while it is out. Sprinkling it on the raw batter makes it sink into it and it doesn't show up on top as in the pic. It gives it a marbly look. I used maybe 1/4 cup of shredded coconut because I didn't want to overpower the taste of the lemon with that of coconut. Using 3/4 cup as suggested would have made it even sweeter than it already was for me.
• I use lemon zest. I also put them in a slightly smaller pan than the 13x9 for a higher bar and cook 10 minutes more. A light refreshing taste of lemon evened out by the not too sweet wonderful shortbread crust. These also travel well. I cut them into small squares and used parchment paper between the layers in a lidded container. They made a two hour trip in a cooler and transferred beautifully to a serving dish. Have been making these lemon bars for a few years now. I love this recipe. It is easy to prepare and serves up a refreshing "hit" of lemon flavor. Do Added a little bit of lemon zest to the filling to up the lemon flavour.
