Ingredients
  

2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced into small chunks

1 cup full-fat coconut milk (for a creamy texture)

1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust based on your preference for sweetness)

1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice (for vibrant flavor)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of salt to enhance flavors

Optional: Fresh mango slices and toasted coconut for garnish

Instructions
 

Blend the Mango: In a blender, combine the diced mangoes, coconut milk, granulated sugar, lime juice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Taste the mixture and feel free to adjust the sweetness by adding more sugar if desired.

    Incorporate Shredded Coconut: Transfer the blended mango mixture into a mixing bowl. Gently fold in the shredded coconut until it is well-distributed throughout the mixture, ensuring each bite is filled with coconut goodness.

      Prepare the Mold: Choose your preferred mold—this can be an ice cube tray, silicone molds, or a parchment-lined 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) baking dish. Line your chosen mold with plastic wrap or parchment paper to ensure easy removal later.

        Pour the Mixture: Carefully pour the mango-coconut mixture into the prepared mold, filling each compartment evenly. If using a baking dish, use a spatula to smooth the surface for an even finish.

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

            Cut and Serve: Once frozen, if you used a baking dish, lift the block out by holding the edges of the parchment or plastic wrap. Cut the frozen block into bars or squares as desired. If you used molds, gently pop the bars out.

              Garnish (Optional): For an extra touch, top the bars with fresh mango slices and a sprinkle of toasted coconut just before serving. This adds delightful texture and visual appeal.

                Enjoy: These refreshing tropical bars are a perfect treat for hot summer days or whenever you desire a fruity indulgence!
