Pour this mixture over the pre-baked base.

Bake the Bars:

Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the custard is set and the top is lightly golden.

Cool and Serve:

Let the bars cool in the pan on a wire rack.

Once cool, dust with additional powdered sugar if desired and cut into bars.

These Coconut Custard Bars are creamy with a tangy contrast from the lemon, and the toasted coconut provides a wonderful texture and flavor. Perfect for a sweet treat after dinner or a lovely addition to a brunch spread!
