Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the base
  • 125 g plain flour
  • 100 g desiccated coconut
  • 80 g caster sugar
  • 125 g unsalted butter, melted and cooled
For the filling
  • 250 g cream cheese
  • 1 large ripe mango Puree half for filling and reserve some for garnish.
  • 1 tbs plain flour
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 200 g sour cream
  • 110 g caster sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla bean paste
  • 1 large lime, finely grated zest and juice

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Grease the base and sides of a 20cm x 30cm slice pan, line with baking paper.
  2. Combine the plain flour, desiccated coconut, caster sugar, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Make a well in the center, pour in the melted butter, and mix until combined.
  3. Press the mixture into the prepared pan and chill until firm.
Cooking
  1. Preheat your oven to 190°C (170°C fan-forced). Bake the base for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
  2. Allow it to cool slightly, then lower the oven temperature to 160°C (140°C fan-forced).
  3. Blend the cream cheese and lime zest until smooth in a stand mixer.
  4. Add sour cream, sugar, vanilla, and eggs, mixing until combined. Sift in the flour and mix briefly.
  5. Blend the mango with lime juice until smooth. Fold half of the puree into the cream cheese mixture.
  6. Pour the mixture over the cooled base, smoothing the surface, and dot with the remaining mango puree, swirling with a knife.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes until set but still with a slight wobble in the middle.
  8. Let it cool in the pan before transferring to the fridge to chill for 4-5 hours.

Notes

Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature for a smoother texture. For extra flavor, consider adding coconut extract. These bars can also be frozen; just wrap tightly for future indulgence.
