I don't know why, but as soon as the weather starts getting warmer I get a craving for coconut. Perhaps it has something to do with the bright sunshine that makes me feel like I'm on a tropical island, especially after this long and cold winter. Who knows? All I'm sure of is that I love coconut and I think these coconut cheesecake squares are the perfect dessert to serve at a family picnic or barbeque.
