Left a super bad aftertaste & looked a little slimey. I was embarassed to serve it to my family. Check out a different recipe!
Great Recipe 5 stars! Will be making this one again! I used pecans instead of almonds. I lightly sprinkled powder sugar while still warm on the top. Make sure they are cool before cutting as per the recipe. Also left out the coconut flakes! Not a big fan of coconut. Thank you for sharing:)
tart tasty tangy! leave out the cooconut!
These a really the perfect lemon squares!! I sub. pecans for the almonds and doubled that amount. I also doubled the coconut. They were great and not too sweet.
this was yummy! i didn't have any almonds so i just made the crust without it. i'm undecided about the crust maybe if i add the almonds it would have been perfect. i'll make this again.
These turned out SO much better than I thought they would! Very lemony but I made sure to increase the lemon zest to 3 tablespoons. I ended up using the zest from 6 lemons and the juice from 4 lemons. I subbed in half a cup of veggie oil because I was short on butter and I added an extra tablespoon of both ground pecans (no almonds =/) and flour to the filling/topping and gave the the topping an extra 5 minutes in the oven because of the "slimy" comment and they turned out great. Only caveat here was the crust it was a tad dry and needed extra time in the oven to brown but I suspect my pan was too small.
I made these as directed except I didn't add the coconut. Everyone loved the crust and the filling has a great texture. The only thing I didn't care for was the color. Because of the brown sugar they don't have that bright lemon color. A small shake of powdered sugar on the top before serving makes them a little more attractive.
Not your everyday lemon bars. Good but I like a stronger lemon flavor. I also agree with other reviewers about the coconut. I like coconut so included it but I think it reduced the lemon flaver. I doubled the recipe and baked in a 9 x 13 pan. Worked well.
Delicious. Perfect blend of sweet and tart. Easy to make. Had no problems with the filling solidifying. Followed the recipe exactly except I did not toast the coconut. I'll definitely make again and again and again. Thanks Sierra!
