Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut
- 6 tablespoons melted butter
Filling
- 16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 can (14 oz/400g) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup coconut milk or coconut cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups fresh ripe mango, diced
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Combine graham cracker crumbs, shredded coconut, and melted butter in a bowl. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a lined baking pan to form an even crust layer. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling to help it set.
- Blend the filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat together softened cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk until smooth. Add coconut milk, lime juice, vanilla extract, and fresh mango pieces, then blend until creamy and lump-free. This creates the luscious tropical cheesecake filling.
- Assemble the bars: Pour the mango cheesecake mixture over the chilled crust, spreading evenly with a spatula. Smooth the top carefully to ensure a neat finish. Return the pan to the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 4 hours or overnight to fully set.
- Slice and serve: Once fully chilled and firm, remove the cheesecake from the pan using the parchment paper edges. Cut into bars with a sharp knife, wiping the blade clean between cuts for clean edges. Garnish as desired and serve chilled.
Notes
- Use room temperature cream cheese for a smooth, lump-free filling.
- Opt for fresh ripe mango instead of canned or frozen for the best flavor.
- Press the crust mixture tightly to prevent crumbly edges and ensure a sturdy base.
- Chill the assembled bars thoroughly for at least 4 hours or overnight for perfect setting and flavor melding.
- For clean cutting, dip a sharp knife in hot water and wipe it dry before slicing the bars.
