Lemon Curd Bars

I found this at allrecipes.com. It's different from most lemon bar recipes due to the lemon curd, coconut, and almonds.
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup unsalted butter
2 cups all-purpose flour (substituted millet flour)
1 cup white sugar
1/2 tsp baking soda
10-oz. jar lemon curd
2/3 cup flaked coconut
1/2 cup toasted and chopped or slivered almonds
DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream butter. Add flour, sugar, baking soda. Mix until coarse crumbs form.
3. Pat 2/3 of the crust mixture into the bottom of one 8-inch square baking dish or 9 X 13 baking pan. Bake at 375 degrees F for 10 minutes. Remove and cool.
4. Spread lemon curd over baked layer. Add coconut and almonds to remaining crumb mixture. Sprinkle over top of lemon curd.
5. Lower oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Bake for 25 minutes. Cool before serving.
