2  cups flaked sweetened coconut
½ cup sugar
¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
1  teaspoon
Pure Vanilla Extract
2  egg whites
Vegetable cooking spray

Combine first 5 ingredients in a bowl; stir well. Divide mixture evenly among 12 muffin cups coated with cooking spray, pressing mixture into bottom and up sides of muffin cups.

*Blueberry Dumplings*
(Serves: 6)

INGREDIENTS
2 1/2 cups blueberries
Honey
Salt
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
1 cup whole wheat fine flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 Tablespoon butter
1/2 cup non-fat milk

Mix blueberries, 3-4 Tablespoons honey, dash of salt and 1 cup water in medium saucepan; bring to a boil, simmer, covered, for 5 minutes; add lemon juice. Mix flour, baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt together, cut in butter until it is the consistency of coarse meal. Add 1-2 tablespoons honey, continuing to cut in to make the coarse meal. Add milk all at once; stir just until flour is dampened. Drop from tablespoon into simmering blueberry mixture. Cover tightly; cook over low heat for 10 minutes without removing cover.
I made the dumplings in two batches. Add water to the blueberry mixture if needed for the second batch.
These dumplings taste best hot! Serve immediately with blueberry mixture.

*Curd Shortbread Sandwiches*

Ingredients:
½    cup    packed light brown sugar
12   Tbs.   butter, room  temperature
1 ½ cups   all- purpose flour
¾    cup    Ms. Earle’s lemon or key  lime curd

Preheat the oven to 325 F. Coat a 7-by-11 inch baking dish with cooking spray. Press a piece of plastic wrap over the bottom of the dish, letting the ends hang over the sides; smooth out any wrinkles.
In a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar and butter. Use an electric mixer on medium speed to beat until light and fluffy, about 1 minute.
On low speed, beat in the flour until the mixture is well blended and holds together when pressed. Gather the dough in to a ball. Divide even layer over the bottom of the prepared dish. Grab the edges of the plastic wrap and lift the rectangle of dough out of the dish. Set aside. Press the remaining dough over the bottom of the dish in an even layer. Spread the Ms. Earle’s lemon or key lime curd on top. Invert the reserved first half of the dough directly on to the filling. Peel away the plastic wrap.
Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until golden. Transfer the dish to a wire rack and cool completely, about 2 hours. Cut into 12 rectangles.
Enjoy!
