Key Lime Fudge

I tried this new recipe and it's a keeper!

I'm posting it especially for Brian, my twin of sorts, who loves Key Lime. :) And isn't the plate pretty? I picked it up at the thrift store today while out and about with friend Julie. And yes, Pat, I washed it before using it. ha.

Preheat oven to 350. Toast coconut 6-8 minutes until golden. Combine flour and sugar. Add 1/2 coconut and cut in the butter. (I used my food processor.) Press into bottom of a greased 9x13 pan. Bake 25 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk yolks and milk together. Gradually whisk in juice and zest. Pour over crust. Sprinkle with remaining coconut. Bake 8-10 minutes. Cool completely, then chill in refrigerator. Decorated with additional zest and powdered sugar if desired.
