Step-by-Step Instructions
To get started on these Coconut Cream Dream Bars, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, I combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of shredded coconut, and 1/4 cup of powdered sugar. Next, I add in that luscious softened butter and mix it well until it resembles a crumbly dough. Then, I press this dough firmly into the bottom of a greased 9×9-inch baking dish, making sure it’s nice and even. Pop it in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes until it’s just lightly golden. That buttery scent filling my kitchen is pure bliss! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
