Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 7 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups fresh mango, peeled and thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 tsp lime zest
Instructions
- Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs, 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut, and 7 tbsp melted unsalted butter. Stir until the crumbs are evenly coated and press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch tart pan. Chill the crust in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to set.
- Step 2: In a separate bowl, beat 8 oz softened cream cheese with 1 cup sweetened condensed milk, 2 tbsp fresh lime juice, and 1 tsp vanilla extract on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
- Step 3: Spread the coconut cream cheese filling evenly into the chilled crust. Arrange 2 cups thinly sliced fresh mango over the filling in a decorative pattern.
- Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk 2 tbsp powdered sugar with 1 tsp lime zest and an additional 1 tbsp lime juice until smooth. Drizzle the lime glaze over the mango slices for a refreshing zing.
- Step 5: Refrigerate the tart for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the filling to firm up.
