Make a pan of Pineapple Coconut Bars for dessert tonight. The coconut cookie crust doubles as the topping, so the fruit bars come together in minutes. You can enjoy a taste of the tropics no matter where you live!
We love making pie bars. Using the same cookie crust for the bottom and top makes them so simple. These salted caramel apple pie bars and these pineapple bars are two of our favorites to make for summer picnics.
I love the combo of pineapple and coconut during the warm summer months, so I wanted to make a dessert bar that included both flavors.
Why This Works
The texture of these sweet pineapple coconut bars is soft and chewy. A coconut crust and crumble holds the gooey pineapple filling in place.
These are not your traditional crumble bars. Shredded coconut is added to the dough to give the fruit bars a sweet tropical flavor.
- Easy to make from scratch.
- One dough for the top and bottom.
- Soft, yet solid enough to hold with your hands.
- Great dessert for summer picnics or barbecues.
Don't let the coconut hold you back from making this dessert. The bars work great with oats too.
