Instructions

  1. Step 1: Line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
  2. Step 2: In a medium bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups rolled oats, 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut, 6 tbsp melted unsalted butter, and 1/4 cup honey. Stir until the mixture is evenly moistened.
  3. Step 3: Press the oat mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to create a compact crust layer. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
  4. Step 4: In a large bowl, beat 8 oz softened cream cheese with 1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk, 1 cup fresh mango puree, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and 1 tbsp lime juice using an electric mixer until completely smooth and fluffy.
  5. Step 5: Pour the mango coconut filling evenly over the chilled oat crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
  6. Step 6: Refrigerate the bars for at least 2 hours until the filling is set and firm enough to cut into squares. Serve chilled for a refreshing tropical dessert.
