In the middle of summer, nothing hits the spot quite like this sublime Key lime dessert. Cold, creamy and tart, it tastes like sunshine. —Melissa Millwood, Lyman, South Carolina

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup salted cashews, chopped
  • 1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
