Ingredients
  

For the base:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

For the filling:

  • 3/4 cup strawberry jam homemade or store-bought

For the coconut topping:

  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups sweetened shredded coconut

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper.
  • In a bowl, combine melted butter, sugar, vanilla, and flour. Press mixture evenly into the bottom of the pan.
  • Bake the crust for 12 minutes, then remove from oven.
  • Spread strawberry jam over the warm crust.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk egg and sugar, then stir in coconut.
  • Drop spoonfuls of coconut topping over jam and gently spread to cover.
  • Return to oven and bake for 22–25 minutes, or until the top is golden and set.
  • Cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Use parchment for easy removal.
  • Don’t overbake or the jam can bubble out.
  • Let them cool fully to help them slice neatly.
