Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs with unsweetened shredded coconut. Pour in melted unsalted butter and stir until well-coated. Transfer to a greased 9x9-inch pan and press firmly.
  3. Bake the crust for 8–10 minutes until golden brown. Allow to cool completely in the pan.
  4. Whisk together sweetened condensed milk, coconut milk, lime zest, lime juice, sugar, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
  5. In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
  6. Gently fold the whipped cream into the coconut-lime mixture until just combined.
  7. Pour the coconut-lime filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top.
  8. Cover and place in the freezer for at least 4 hours to set.
  9. Once frozen, remove bars from the freezer and let sit for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with lime slices and toasted coconut before serving.
