Lemon Coconut White Chocolate Gooey Bars
This post may contain affiliate links.
A couple weeks ago I made Strawberry White Chocolate Gooey Bars and they were so darn good. And so easy.
So I adapted that recipe and spun it into these lemony beauties. They’re like lemon bars on steroids. If you like lemon bars, you’re going to love these.
It’s an easy, 6-ingredient recipe that will be a hit with lemon and white chocolate lovers. While you can taste the coconut, it’s not overwhelming, but if you’re truly not a coconut fan you could likely omit it and shorten the baking time by about 5 minutes, but I’m just guessing because I haven’t personally tried.
The lemon base is soft and chewy, there’s coconut and white chocolate chips for extra texture, and sweetened condensed milk keeps them juicy and moist.
The bars start off with a box of lemon cake mix. If you don’t use cake mix or don’t have cake mix in your area, this may not be the recipe for you.
Don’t follow the directions on the box because you’re not making cake – you’re making gooey bars – so follow my directions below.
Because the bars will be loose and gooey as you take them out of the oven, make sure to allow them to cool for a few hours (overnight if you can plan ahead) if you want nice clean squares because they’re incredibly gooey right out of the oven.
If you don’t care about presentation then dive right in as soon as the heavenly scent of lemon, coconut, and white chocolate is too much to resist.
