This recipe came from Land O Lakes butter. I had to try them once just to see if they were as good as they sound, and believe me, they didn't last in my house past two days. I ate a big hunk every time I got hungry. Yes, I know, fully sugared, but everyone deserves a treat!

ingredients

CRUST
1 ¹⁄₂ cups flour
¹⁄₂ cup macadamia nuts, ground fine in a food processor
¹⁄₂ cup butter (1 stick) or 1/2 cup margarine (1 stick)
FILLING
1 cup lime juice
2 (14 ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon grated lime zest
¹⁄₂ cup sweetened flaked coconut
2 drops green food coloring (makes it a pretty green) (optional)

directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Combine lime juice, condensed milk, zest, and food coloring in a bowl and set aside. The mixture will slightly thicken.
In another bowl, combine flour, sugar, and nuts; cut in the butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Pat evenly into an ungreased 9x13 pan. Bake for 16-18 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.
Pour filling mixture over hot, partially baked crust. Sprinkle with coconut.
Place back in the oven for 15-17 minutes or until filling is set. Cool completely. Cover and refrigerate before serving.

Made for Comfort Cafe Summer 2009. These are very good and I love the combination of lime and coconut. They are also very rich. Thanks for posting this Redneck.
