Keto Coconut Lime Bars

Crust:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F / 180 degrees C

2. Combine all of the crust ingredients in a medium-sized bowl and mix well until a crumbly dough forms.

3. Press firmly into an 8 x 8-inch baking pan (9x13 shown in video). For best results line the pan with parchment or foil first; then you can simply lift out the completed lemon bars.

4. Bake for 10 minutes.

5. Remove and cool while you make the filling. (Don’t change oven setting.)

Filling:

1. Melt butter in a small saucepan on low heat.

2. Remove from heat and whisk in sweetener, lime juice, and lime zest until dissolved.

3. Whisk in egg yolks and return to the stove over low heat.

4. Cook over same low heat, whisking continually until it starts to thicken.

5. Remove from the heat. Whisk in xanthan gum and gelatin until dissolved and smooth.

6. Pour this filling over the crust and spread out evenly.

7. Bake the bars at 350 degrees F / 180 degrees C for 15 minutes.

8. Remove from oven and cool for 30 minutes.

9. Cut into 2 x 2-inch squares.
