Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.75 cups Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cups Crushed pineapple (canned, drained)
• 0.75 cups Sweetened shredded coconut
• 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 2 Eggs
• 0.5 cups Coconut milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and melted butter until a crumbly dough forms.

Step 3

Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust. Prick the crust with a fork a few times to prevent bubbling, then bake for 10 minutes. Remove and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, eggs, and coconut milk until smooth.

Step 5

Gently fold in the crushed pineapple, shredded coconut, and vanilla extract into the cream cheese mixture.

Step 6

Pour the pineapple-coconut filling over the pre-baked crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake the bars in the oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the center is set.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

Step 9

Once cooled, transfer the pan to the fridge to chill for at least 2 hours before slicing.

Step 10

Dust the top of the bars with powdered sugar (if using), slice into 12 squares, and serve. Enjoy your tropical treat!
