How to make Lemon Coconut Squares

Prepare the essential foods for the lemon curd. Beat the yolks until smooth. Wash the lemon thoroughly, remove the zest without touching the white part. Squeeze out the lemon juice. Combine everything in a heavy-bottomed saucepan and cook over low heat until thickened, about 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally with a whisk. Transfer to another dish, cover with cling film in contact and cool completely. Prepare the required foods for the test. Sift flour and baking powder into a deep bowl. Add coconut flakes, sugar (100 g) and salt, stir. Pour in melted butter, stir. Add the egg and knead to a soft dough. Divide the dough into a square baking dish (20x20 cm). My shape is larger, so I reduced it in this way: I put the dough on parchment and folded it over a cylinder in foil.Bake the cake in an oven preheated to 180 ° C for 15 minutes. Cool it down. Meanwhile, grind the cottage cheese through a sieve or punch with a blender until a lump-free paste. Combine with lemon curd and stir until smooth.
