Mango Bars with Lime Glaze
Mar 29, 2025 08:13 AM
Summery Mango Bars! A jammy layer of fresh mango sandwiched between a coconut biscuit base and crumbly topping, finished with a lime glaze. Stellar flavour combination that screams of summer! That mango layer is everything – juicy and generous.
Mango + coconut + lime is a classic summer flavour combination and here it’s in a slice form made for eating with your hands. The coconut is in the base and crumbly topping which is made form the same mixture, there’s an assertive, unmissable layer of mango which walks the perfect line between juicy without being watery, jammy without being gluey.
Then because I couldn’t resist adding lime flavour, I decided on a whim to finish it off with a limey glaze.
If you can’t shovel the whole thing in your mouth in one go, it might be a bit messy to eat. But that’s part of the fun!!
