Ingredients

• 0.75 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 large ripe mangoes, peeled and pitted
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
• 3 units large eggs
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang for easy removal later.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until well mixed.

Step 3

Add 2 cups of the flour and salt to the butter mixture, stirring until crumbly. Reserve 1/4 cup of flour for later use.

Step 4

Press the flour mixture into the prepared baking dish to form an even layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove and let cool.

Step 5

While the crust is baking, puree the ripe mangoes in a blender or food processor until smooth.

Step 6

In a large bowl, combine the mango puree with lime juice, sweetened condensed milk, and eggs. Mix well until smooth.

Step 7

Add the remaining 1/4 cup of flour and cornstarch to the mango mixture and whisk until fully incorporated.

Step 8

Pour the mango filling over the baked crust, spreading evenly with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for an additional 30 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly firm to the touch.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and allow to cool at room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to fully set.

Step 11

Once chilled, use the parchment overhang to lift the bars out of the pan. Slice into 16 squares using a sharp knife.

Step 12

Serve chilled and enjoy your mango bars!
