Tasty, but crust was a little too soft.

Yum! These are super good. I halved the recipe and baked in an 8 X 8 pan. I did reduce the sugar a bit and upped the lemon juice. It turned out with perfect flavor... not too sweet, not too tart. I was worried that the coconut with blend in with the lemon layer, so I waited until the last 10 minutes of baking to add the coconut. Thanks for sharing! :)

I made these one day and they were amazing!! They are so easy to make and taste delicious and I made them for the fair and I got 1st prize!! They don't even need cream cheese which is expensive, so this is a great recipe!! I love the coconut, it gives a dash of flavour to the already sweet and flavorfull treat!

I concentrated the lemon juice by heating it and got a super lemon taste, but the coconut was lost. the base was a bit crumbly and overall the bar was super thin. will try a little less lemon next time and cook in a smaller pan to thicken a bit...overall still a good lemon bar recipe.

I am sorry; we didn't care for these at all. Not lemony enough (needs more lemon filling as well as a stronger lemon flavor), a little dry, and the coconut just really took away from it. The crust had a nice texture but was REALLY buttery. I usually love coconut, but I think the texture of it just wasn't right for this dessert.

These are delicious chilled. I'm going to have to make more because my family is absolutely nuts about them. I followed the recipe exactly as it is - perfect!

I added a little less sugar in the lemon filling, that turned out great.

I made these for my office and everyone loved them. I made them without the coconut because some people don't like coconut, but I'm sure they're awesome with it. Thanks for the keeper!

This is a quick and easy recipe to make but is built to impress. It has a delicious flavor and the coconut is a delightful twist. I made this recipe exactly as printed. It's yummy!

You would never think that these were so fast and easy to make by tasting them. I had some left over toasted coconut I wanted to use and came across this recipe. I used “plastic lemon” juice because that was all I had on hand and put in a tsp of lemon extract, they came out fantastic! The crust was crisp and the lemon filling was creamy. The coconut really compliments the lemon flavor. A great spring/ summer dessert :)

I was just shy of having 1/2 cup of lemon juice, so I added about 1/2 t of lemon zest just to make sure i'd get a very lemony flavor. These are delicious!!!

Followed the recipe exactly. I love lemon bars and these have an especially good crust. They held together so that you could pick them up and they didnt fall apart.

Great recipe!! I found this recipe this morning about 4 am and had it ready to eat by 6 am breakfast a men's group has every Thursday. Simple and turned out great the first time. I did use 3/4 cup of lemon juice as one review recommended. I too like a little kick in my lemon deserts.

I liked the idea of these bars, but I kept tasting a bad "eggy" flavor in them. I like eggs a lot, but occaisonally when desserts call for too many of them, I can taste them in a negative way. Hope this is helpful.

This is fantastic. Tastes almost like a lemon pie. I added a tsp of lemon zest to my filling and also let it bake for 15 min before topping with the coconut. My final product has 3 distinct layers and is very yummy.

I followed the recipe exactly and these were incredible! I took them to a party and everyone who tasted them ate two or three more. Yum! Have to try this recipe if you like coconut.

VERY GOOD....the coconut on the top is unique and adds a slightly "crisp" top instead of just a plain top or powdered sugar. These held their form nicely as well...I have made some recipes that are just too mushy, but not these! I have made them a few times, and always receive compliments! Definitely worth a try!
