Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x9-inch baking pan with grease or parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, shredded coconut, and sugar. Add melted butter, mixing until it resembles damp sand.
  3. Press the crust mixture firmly into the prepared pan and bake for 8-10 minutes until golden brown. Allow to cool completely.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk, coconut milk, lime zest, lime juice, and salt until smooth.
  5. Whip the heavy cream in a separate bowl until stiff peaks form, taking care not to overbeat.
  6. Gently fold the whipped cream into the coconut-lime mixture until just combined.
  7. Pour the filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
  8. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours until firm.
  9. Let the bars sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with lime slices and toasted coconut if desired.
