RECIPE
Ingredients:
2 cups of sweetened coconut flakes
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup butter
1/8 teaspoon artisan sea salt
1/3 cup of lemon juice, freshly squeezed (about 3-4 large lemons)
4 eggs
2 egg yolks
1 cup of sugar
1 large ripe mango, peeled and cut into small cubes or substitute it with 3/4 cup of mango pulp if you don't want chunky bars
1 tablespoon fresh lemon zest, minced
Steps:
1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
2. Line a 8x8 plan with parchment paper. Mix coconut shreds, sea salt, and 1/4 cup butter in a bowl. Mold it unto the bottom of your pan and bake for 25 minutes or until slightly browned. Then allow to cool while preparing the mango/lemon mixture. Then preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
3. Mix eggs, egg yolks, and sugar in a medium bowl. Then add lemon juice, zest and mango. Transfer to a medium sauce pan and heat on medium low, stirring constantly for about 6-8 minutes or until slightly thickened. Remove from heat immediately if it’s sticking to the bottom of the pan or sides.
4. Put mixture through a strainer and try to remove the bigger lemon zest pieces. Add the mango chunks back into the strained mixer (no chunks if you substituted it with pulp). Then add the 1/2 cup of butter in slices. Allow it to melt and mix well.
5. Pour mixture over prepared coconut crust. Bake in preheated oven (350 F) for about 15 to 20 minutes. The edges will cook and the center will remain softer. Allow it to cool in the refridgerator overnight.
Cut with a pizza cutter (much easier than a using a plain knife) and enjoy!
