Several people requested the bar recipe from yesterday’s training in
Mankato. I found it on the http://www.pillsbury.com
White Chocolate Key Lime Calypso Bars
1 roll (16.5 oz) refrigerated sugar cookies
1 cup chopped shelled pistachios
1 cup coconut
1 ½ cup white chocolate chunks or white vanilla baking chips
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
½ cup fresh lime juice
3 egg yolks
1 teaspoon oil
Heat oven to 350°F. Grease 13x9-inch pan. In large bowl, break up cookie
dough. Stir or knead in pistachios and coconut until well blended. With
floured fingers, press dough mixture evenly in bottom of pan to form
crust. Sprinkle 1 cup of the white chocolate chunks over dough; press
lightly into dough. Bake 14 to 16 minutes or until light golden brown.
Meanwhile, in medium bowl, beat condensed milk, lime juice and egg yolks
until well blended. Remove crust from oven. Pour milk mixture evenly
over crust. Return to oven; bake 20 to 25 minutes longer or until
filling is set.
In small microwavable bowl, place remaining 1/2 cup white chocolate
chunks and the oil. Microwave on High 45 seconds. Stir until smooth; if
necessary, microwave 15 seconds longer. Drizzle over warm bars. Cool 1
hour. Refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour. For bars, cut into 6 rows
by 6 rows. Store in refrigerator.
(I used butter instead of oil for the glaze, and it did not turn out
well, the glaze was too thick to drizzle)
