  • Directions:
  • Preheat oven to 400F degrees
  • Combine crust ingredients and spread into a 9x13 baking dish
  • (note: for more detailed directions on making this crust, click HERE)
  • Poke dough all over with a fork.
  • This keeps the dough from puffing up too much while baking.
  • Bake at 400F degrees for about 10-15 minutes.
  • Crust should be a light golden brown and not "doughy".
  • Let the crust cool.
  • Then prepare the filling.
  • In a bowl, whisk together half and half and egg yolks.
  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar and cornstarch.
  • Then slowly stir in half and half mixture while continuing to whisk.
  • Bring heat up to high and continue to whisk. Do not leave your pot.
  • Pudding is so easy to make but the minute you walk away, it can thicken up on ya and you have a globby mess. So just hang in there and keep whisking while the mixture comes up to a boil. After a few minutes you will notice it has thickened. Take the saucepan off the heat and stir in 3 tbsp. butter, 1 cup coconut and coconut extract. Stir well.
  • Then spread pudding mixture over crust. Allow to cool for a few minutes.
  • Then cover with plastic wrap. And pop it in your fridge to cool for about an hour.
  • Now, for the whipped cream, you will need to use the whisk attachment on your stand mixer (or a bowl and a whisk if doing it by hand). Pour 2 cups heavy whipping cream and turn mixer on to medium-high. Slowly add in sugar and then vanilla. Mix until whipped cream forms soft peaks. Then spread whipped cream over coconut pudding layer.
  • Now for the toasted coconut topping (if you prefer it toasted).
  • Preheat oven to 325F degrees. Put about a cup of coconut on a baking pan. Place it in the oven and bake for about 5-10 minutes. Stir every couple of minutes and don't walk away from oven because it has a tendency to burn the second you walk away. Let toasted coconut cool.
  • Sprinkle bars with toasted coconut then slice
