ISO: ISO Anyone who has made Joe's Lemon Bars: Crust is in the oven

I'm making them for my aunt who loves lemon and coconut. I'd like to top with toasted coconut. Would you put in on the topping immediately or wait until it's baked for some of the time?

Never tried it, but I think you should wait until it sets if you want the coconut on top.

The filling is pretty liquid.

Thanks,Joe. I'll wait until it's almost done. Or I may not do it.

I make coconut-lime bars which are essentially the same thing...this is what I do...

Bake, cool to room temp then chill 2 or more hours. Lift bars out of the pan, cut into bars, then sprinkle toasted coconut on top. That way, the coconut stays crunchy and you aren't forcing pieces between the bars when you cut them.

Too late. Already sprinkled. I'll try that next time. Thanks!
