Tropical Coconut Bars

Hi!  Does anyone have the recipe for the Tropical Coconut Bars from the Bake-off?  I can't find it on the website.  I've looked at all the past bake-off recipes and have had no luck.  Please help!

Re: Tropical Coconut Bars

Hi cieera78:

Ah, that recipe didn't win in the the You Be the Judge Round against the Peach-Pecan Thumbprint Cookies.

http://www.pillsbury.com/Recipes/ShowRecipe.aspx?rid=47359&bof_return=1

I don't have the recipe anymore... but if anyone else saved it, feel free to post it! 

Sorry I can't be more of a help. 

Sincerely, Cate

That website link isn't valid.  I need an administrative login to view anything on the site.

Re: Tropical Coconut Bars

I do have this recipe- a friend printed it off for me awhile back and I'm SO glad I saved it because its amazing. Here ya go:

 

Ingredients:

1  roll (16.5 oz) Pillsburry refrigerated sugar cookies

1  EGGLAND'S BEST egg

1  cup shredded or flaked coconut

1  teaspoon coconut extract

1/2  cup Hershey's premier white baking chips

1/4  cup LAND O LAKES unsalted or salted butter, softened

1/4  cup Smucker's Pineapple Ice Cream Topping

 

Directions:

1. Heat oven to 325F. Spray 9-inch square pan with Crisco Original No-Stick Cooking Spray

2. In large bowl, break up cookie dough. Add egg, 1/2 cup of the coconut and 1/2 teaspoon of the coconut extract. Beat with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Spread dough evenly in pan. Bake 30-40 minutes or until deep golden brown and set. Cool completely, about 45 minutes.

3. Meanwhile, on ungreased cookie sheet, spread remaining 1/2 cup coconut. Bake 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until coconut just turns golden. Cool.

4. In small microwavable bowl, microwave baking chips uncovered on High 20 seconds; stir. Continue to microwave in 10-second increments, stirring after each, until chips are melted and smooth. Cool slightly.

5. In medium bowl, beat butter, cream cheese, melted baking chips, pineapple topping and remaining 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended and fluffy.

6. Spread cream cheese mixture over cooled cookie base. Sprinkle toasted coconut evenly over top; press lightly into cream cheese mixture. Refrigerate 1 hour. For 16 bars, cut into 4 rows by 4 rows. Store covered in refrigerator.
