Description

Buttery graham cracker crust layered with sweetened condensed milk, tart diced rhubarb, white chocolate, toasted coconut, and crunchy nuts, baked until golden for a gooey, tart-sweet dessert bar.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups fresh rhubarb, diced small
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded coconut
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
  2. Combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a bowl, stirring until evenly moistened.
  3. Press the crumb mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.
  4. Pour the 14 ounce can of sweetened condensed milk evenly over the crust, tilting the pan if needed to distribute.
  5. Evenly sprinkle the diced rhubarb across the condensed milk layer, then add the white chocolate chips, chopped nuts, and shredded coconut in even layers.
  6. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the coconut is golden brown at the edges and the filling is bubbly. Remove from oven and let cool completely in the pan.
  7. Once cooled, lift the bars from the pan using the parchment overhang and cut into 16 bars. Store as directed.

Notes

  • Line the pan with parchment paper for clean removal and easier slicing.
  • Allow the bars to cool completely before cutting to achieve clean slices.
  • Lightly toast the coconut before assembling for extra nuttiness.
  • If using frozen rhubarb, thaw and drain well to avoid excess moisture.
  • Store bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
