Recipe
Place first five ingredients in a medium bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until creamy (about 2 minutes). Gradually add 1 cup flour to butter mixture, beating at low speed until mixture resembles course meal. Then add nuts, white chips and coconut. Gently press two-thirds of mixture (about 1 1/3 cups) into bottom of 8-inch square baking pans; set remaining 2/3 cup flour mixture aside. Bake for 12 minutes or until just beginning to brown. For filling combine 2/3 cup sugar, 3 tablespoons flour, baking powder, and 1/8 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add lime juice eggs, stirring with a whisk until smooth. Pour mixture over crust. Bake for 12 minutes. Remove pan from oven (do not turn oven off); sprinkle remaining 2/3 cup flour mixture evenly over egg mixture. Bake an additional 8 to 10 minutes or until set. Remove from oven; cool in pan or a wire rack. Melt white chips and drizzle over top in any pattern. Grate lime zest to garnish. Cut in desired shape and serve.
