Ingredients
  

2 ripe mangoes, peeled and chopped (approximately 3 cups)

1 cup full-fat coconut milk for an indulgent creaminess

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust according to your sweetness preference)

1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

Optional: Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Blend the Mango Mixture: In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the chopped mangoes, coconut milk, honey (or maple syrup), lime juice, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, pausing to scrape down the sides as necessary to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.

    Incorporate Shredded Coconut: Add the unsweetened shredded coconut to the smooth mango mixture. Pulse the blender a few times to combine, ensuring that the coconut maintains some texture for a delightful bite.

      Prepare the Pan: Line an 8x8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, allowing some overhang on the sides. This will make it easier to lift the bars out later and helps achieve clean edges.

        Pour into the Pan: Transfer the mango-coconut mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to spread the mixture evenly across the pan for uniform bars.

          Freeze: Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap or a lid, and place it in the freezer. Allow it to freeze for at least 4 hours, or until the mixture is completely solid.

            Slice into Bars: After the bars have fully frozen, remove them from the freezer and let them sit for a couple of minutes at room temperature to soften slightly. Use the overhanging parchment paper to lift the frozen block out of the dish. Place it on a cutting board and cut into 12 equal-sized bars.

              Serve and Enjoy: If desired, garnish the bars with fresh mint leaves for an extra touch of flavor and freshness. Serve immediately, and be sure to store any leftover bars in an airtight container in the freezer for a refreshing treat later.
