Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 3 large eggs
• 1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
• 1 cup pineapple, finely diced
• 1 cup mango, finely diced
• 0.5 cup shredded coconut
• 1 teaspoon lime zest
• 2 tablespoons lime juice

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar, and salt. Pour in the melted butter and stir until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Press the crust mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.

Step 4

While the crust cools, prepare the tropical fruit filling. In a large bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Add the sweetened condensed milk, pineapple, mango, coconut, lime zest, and lime juice. Stir until well combined.

Step 5

Pour the fruit filling over the pre-baked crust and spread it out evenly using a spatula.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly golden around the edges.

Step 7

Remove the pan from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely at room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.

Step 8

Lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Slice into 12 even bars using a sharp knife. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
