Ingredients:
- 3 cups flour
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 package lemon flavor instant pudding and pie filling
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Crumble Mixture:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, shredded coconut, butter, and white sugar.
- Use your fingertips to blend the ingredients together until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. This step is essential for achieving that irresistible crumbly texture.
-
Layer the Crumble:
- Take an ungreased 9×13-inch baking pan and press half of the crumble mixture firmly into the bottom. This forms the delicious base of your Lemon Crumble Squares.
-
Prepare the Lemon Filling:
- Follow the instructions on the package of lemon flavor instant pudding and pie filling to prepare the filling. This typically involves mixing the pudding mix with milk until smooth and thickened.
-
Assemble the Squares:
- Once the lemon filling is ready, pour it evenly over the pressed crumble mixture in the baking pan.
- Sprinkle the remaining crumble mixture evenly over the lemon filling, creating a delightful contrast of textures and flavors.
-
Bake to Perfection:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
- Place the assembled pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until the top of the squares turns a golden brown hue. Keep an eye on them to prevent over-browning.
-
Cool and Serve:
- Once baked to perfection, remove the pan from the oven and allow the Lemon Crumble Squares to cool slightly.
- For optimal flavor and texture, transfer the pan to the refrigerator to chill thoroughly.
- Once chilled, cut the squares into equal portions using a sharp knife.
- Serve the Lemon Crumble Squares on a platter and watch them disappear as guests indulge in the irresistible combination of tangy lemon and buttery crumble.
Enjoy Your Lemon Crumble Squares! 🍋✨
