Listen, my darlings, every once in a while my taste buds want for a combination of sweet and acidic flavors. That’s why these squares of lemon coconut cream are so useful. They are like a small piece of paradise. This dish brings together the comfort of our home cooking with the freshness of spring orchards; it was passed down from my mom’s recipe box. If you want to brighten up a gathering, whether it’s a church potluck or a backyard barbecue, this is the kind of meal you should bring.
These lemony delights have a tropical flavor from coconut, which makes them feel like a charming homage to other lands while remaining faithful to our humble origins; this is especially true in the Midwest, where tradition is paramount. If you’re in the mood for some fantasy but would rather remain grounded, these are the shoes for you.
If you want to know what goes well with one of these squares and a nice cup of coffee or tea, I’ve got news for you. You can’t go wrong with serving them as an accompaniment to fried chicken and corn on the cob for dinner or as the centerpiece to a plain summer salad. Your guests are sure to be pleased.
