absolutely delicious. I altered the amount of sugar to 1 1/4 cup and increased the amount of lemon juice to just under 3/4cup. (I like my lemon squares tangy!) I also added two drops of yellow food colouring just to make it more visually appealing. absolutely fantastic!

One of the best! Coconut comes out nice and toasted. Just sweet enough!

Oh my goodness, these are just SO good I can't stop eating them. Who knew coconut and lemon would taste so good together? I made the recipe with no changes and it was perfect.
