Lemon Curd Bars with Coconut

This bar has the two crusts as requested, and has a strong tangy lemon taste, so much better than most of the lemon bar recipes out there due to the lemon curd and added coconut!

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step: 2

In a large mixing bowl cream the butter. Add the flour, sugar and baking soda. Mix until the mixture forms coarse crumbs
