To prepare the base for your Coconut Lime Bliss Bars, begin by mixing together the crust ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted coconut oil, and a hint of sweetener. The key here is to achieve the right texture. You want the mixture to resemble wet sand, which will allow it to hold together when pressed into the pan.

Ingredients
  

1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1 cup almond flour

1/4 cup coconut oil, melted

1/4 cup maple syrup

Zest of 2 limes

1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk

1 tablespoon cornstarch

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, almond flour, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, lime zest, lime juice, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until well combined.

    Form the Base: Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a parchment-lined 8x8 inch baking dish, making sure it's evenly spread. Chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.

      Make the Coconut Cream Layer: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the full-fat coconut milk and cornstarch. Whisk continuously until the mixture thickens (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly.

        Layer the Bars: Pour the coconut cream mixture over the chilled base, using a spatula to spread it evenly.

          Freeze: Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or until solid.

            Cut and Serve: Once the bars are completely frozen, remove from the dish using the parchment paper. Cut into squares or rectangles as desired.

              Garnish (Optional): For extra flair, sprinkle a little lime zest or toasted coconut on top before serving!
