LEMON COCONUT SQUARES

1 cup graham cracker crumbs

1/4 cup melted butter
1 can (14-oz) sweetened condensed milk
1/3 cup lemon juice
1/2 tsp grated lemon rind
1 carton (12-oz) frozen whipped topping, thawed
2 2/3 cups flaked coconut
9 mint sprigs for garnish, if desired
9 thin lemon slices for garnish, if desired

Combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch square pan.

In a large bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice and rind. Fold in 3 1/2 cups of the whipped topping and 1 1/2 cups of the coconut. Spread the mixture over the crumbs. Sprinkle remaining coconut over the lemon mixture. Chill at least 2 hours to set. Cut into squares. Top squares with the remaining whipped topping. If desired, garnish with lemon slices and mint sprigs.
