Reviews
I’m kind of shocked over the good reviews. These are easy, yes, but they’re not very good. They have some what of an angel food texture, but with a very gummy (almost bubblegum) feel in your mouth. They are not quite as bad at room temperature. The best thing about them is the cream cheese frosting. Kids will like probably them if you need something easy to throw together.
I love these Bars. It is my go to recipe for family and work events. I find they keep quite well….if they last that long!
These lemon bars are rich and delicious. The flavors of the lemon, coconut, and cream cheese worked perfectly together. The frosting, in particular, is addictive. Be sure to use enough lemon zest on top, to add that extra punch of flavor. They kept very well in the refrigerator for a few days.
Very, Very Good !!!!!!! One of the best Lemon Bars I’ve tried. However, they do not keep well, they get soggy.
I tried freezing and defrosting, and they still got soggy. Great flavor, but they’re best served fresh.

These bars are definitely better the next day. They are so cool and light and this recipe make a bunch!
These lemon bars were very easy to make and quite tasty. They are very rich so a small piece goes a long way! I thought they tasted better when served at room temperature rather than straight from the fridge. They stayed moist and delicious for several days.
