Lemon Coconut Bars

Lemon Coconut Bars-Neiman Marcus:

My good friend Anita made these for a back to school barbecue we had at our house.  They were delicious!  I made them myself after getting the recipe and they are so good!  Gotta write the recipe down so I can have easy access to it.  

Ingredients: 

1 box of lemon cake mix

4 eggs

1 stick of melted butter

1 box of powdered sugar (about 4 cups)

8 oz package of cream cheese, softened

2 cups sweetened flaked coconut

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Grease (or use Pam) one 9X13 inch pan.  In a mixing bowl, combine cake mix, 2 eggs and melted butter.  Spread in bottom of pan.  

In a second bowl, beat with electric mixer or kitchen aid mixer, powdered sugar, 2 more eggs, and cream cheese.  Stir in your coconut.  Spread coconut mixture on top of crust mixture.  

Bake 35-40 minutes until edges are brown and center is set (It will still be slightly wobbly in the middle).  

Cool on counter for 30 minutes, then refrigerate 2 hours or up to 2 days.  

Slice into bars and serve.
