Description

This recipe is super simple, super delicious, and super summery.  You should absolutely try it too.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box of lemon cake mix (do not prepare)
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 stick melted butter (8 tablespoons)
  • 4 cups of powdered sugar
  • 1 (8 oz) package of cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups sweetened flaked coconut

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Grease (I use Pam) a 9×12 inch baking dish.  Set aside.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine dry cake mix, 2 eggs and melted butter with a spoon.  Once combined, spread across the bottom of your pan.  This is the “crust”.
  3. In a second mixing bowl, beat with an electric mixer your powdered sugar, 2 more eggs, and cream cheese. Once combined, stir in your coconut.  Spread this coconut mixture on top of crust mixture.
  4. Pop this in the oven and bake 35-40 minutes until edges are brown and center set (it will still be slightly wobbly in the middle).
  5. Remove from oven and cool on counter 30 minutes before refrigerating 2 hours or up to 2 days.
  6. Slice into bars and serve.

Notes

The bars are best served right out of the fridge.
