Scale
- Coconut Crumble Base & Topping:
- 125g/ 1 stick unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup caster/superfine white sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/2 cups flour, plain / all-purpose
- 1 cup oats
- 3/4 cup desiccated or finely shredded coconut, unsweetened
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp cooking salt / kosher salt
- Mango Filling:
- 2 1/2 cups (400g) mango slices, 5mm/0.2” thin, from 2 large-ish mangoes
- 1 1/2 tsp cornflour / cornstarch
- 2 tbsp white sugar
- Lime Glaze (optional):
- 3/4 cup soft icing sugar / powdered sugar
- 1 tsp lime zest
- 3 tsp lime juice, plus more as needed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish.
- For the Coconut Crumble Base: In a mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar until fluffy. Add in the egg and mix well. In a separate bowl, combine flour, oats, coconut, baking powder, and salt. Add dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until combined.
- Press the coconut crumble mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading evenly. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
- For the Mango Filling: In a saucepan, combine the mango slices, cornstarch, and sugar. Cook over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mango has softened and the mixture thickens. Remove from heat.
- Once the coconut base is out of the oven, spread the mango filling evenly over the crumble base.
- Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the filling is set and bubbly.
- For the Lime Glaze: In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar, lime zest, and lime juice until smooth. Add more lime juice as needed to achieve desired consistency.
- Once the bars have cooled, drizzle with lime glaze and cut into squares. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
- Be sure to use finely shredded coconut, as flakes are too large for the base.
- If mangoes are particularly sweet, adjust the sugar in the filling as needed.
- The lime glaze adds a nice zesty finish, but can be skipped if you prefer a more subtle flavor.
