Keto Toasted Coconut Lemon Squares [Zesty Low-Carb Dessert]

These keto fat bomb lemon squares are one of those recipes. Not just because lemon squares (aka lemon bars) are a beloved dessert staple that has transcended time and potlucks everywhere, but because these are Toasted Coconut Lemon Squares and everyone knows that the sweet and salty crunch of coconut makes everything better.

Traditional lemon squares are gooey and tangy and guaranteed to make a mess of your fingers. This spin on an old classic combines the bite of a lemon with a dairy free, egg based, custard style filling which is topped with crispy toasted coconut chips and packed with protein. The creamier, heavy filling keeps the lemon coconut crust from getting too soggy and flimsy. Win-win!

Slice these squares into 9 servings for a calorie dense breakfast, or into 12 bars for a lighter keto treat! If you don’t mind using real milk, the amounts are the same but remember that the fat and calories will change by using whole fat milk. You can use unsweetened toasted coconut, but I highly recommend toasted coconut chips. They are readily available at most grocery stores. The chips have zero sugar added and are crispier than toasting your own coconut!
