Bars
1
cup Bisquick Heart Smart® mix
2
tablespoons powdered sugar
2
tablespoons firm butter
3/4
cup granulated sugar
1/4
cup flaked coconut
1
tablespoon Bisquick Heart Smart® mix
2
teaspoons grated lemon peel
2
tablespoons lemon juice
1/2
cup fat-free egg product
Lemon Glaze
1/2
cup powdered sugar
1
tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 Heat oven to 350°F. In small bowl, mix 1 cup Bisquick mix and 2 tablespoons powdered sugar. Cut in butter, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through mixture in opposite directions), until crumbly. Press in ungreased 8-inch square pan.
  • 2 Bake uncovered about 10 minutes or until light brown. Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix all remaining bar ingredients. Pour coconut mixture over baked layer.
  • 3 Bake about 25 minutes longer or until set and golden brown. Loosen edges from sides of pan while warm.
  • 4 In small bowl, stir lemon glaze ingredients until smooth; spread over bars. Cool completely, about 1 hour. For bars, cut into 4 rows by 4 rows.

Expert Tips

Desserts don't have to be eaten after a meal. Sometimes having a small sweet as a between-meal snack can be more satisfying if you are hungry, advises noted cardiologist, Dr. Roger Blumenthal, Johns Hopkins Hospital.

Combining reduced-fat and fat-free ingredients with small amounts of full-fat ingredients (butter and coconut) results in the best of both worlds--tasty treats without guilt!

When the pan was pulled from the oven the entire house filled with the aroma of the Lemon. The color was spectacular, as was the texture. The crust had a rich under taste almost like a short bread. The pan was supposed to last the several days, but was gone by the end of the evening. If you have a sweet tooth, or, want to impress this is one dessert to make over and over again.
