Crust
Nonstick cooking spray
2½ cups animal crackers
½ cup (1 stick) butter

Coconut Layer
1¼ cups sweetened condensed milk
¾ cup white chocolate chips
2 cups sweetened flaked coconut

Key Lime Layer
4 large eggs
2 cups granulated sugar

Meanwhile, prepare the lemon layer. In a bowl, using an electric mixer, beat together the eggs,
granulated sugar, flour, baking powder, and key lime juice. Pour the key lime mixture on top
of the coconut layer. Return the pan to the oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the key lime mixture
is set and does not jiggle when the pan is gently shaken. Cool completely before cutting into 2-inch
bars with a sharp knife. Just before serving, sift confectioners’ sugar over the bars.
