For shortbread layer:
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 sticks (1 cup) cold unsalted butter, cut into bits
2/3 cup confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
For topping:
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
3/4 cup canned coconut cream such as Coco Lopez
1/4 cup heavy cream

halved
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and butter a 13- by 9-inch baking
pan.

In a food processor pulse shortbread ingredients until mixture just
forms a dough. Pat dough evenly onto bottom of pan and bake 20
minutes, or until pale golden.
Make topping while shortbread is baking:
In a large saucepan melt butter over low heat and remove pan from
heat. Whisk in brown sugar until dissolved and whisk in coconut
cream, heavy cream, and lemon juice until combined well. Stir in
flaked coconut and nuts.
Pour topping over shortbread. Reduce temperature to 325 degrees F.
and bake confection until top is golden and center is bubbling, 45
to 50 minutes. Cool confection completely in pan on a rack and cut
into bars. Bars may be made ahead and kept, wrapped well, chilled 4
days or frozen 3 weeks. Serve bars chilled or at room temperature.
Yield: about forty 3- by 1-inch bars
