Indulge in healthy exotic mango and avocado coconut bliss bars. A guilt-free dessert packed with nutrients and tropical flavors. Try today!
Ingredients
- • ripe mango: 1, peeled and diced
- • ripe avocado: 1, peeled and pitted
- • unsweetened shredded coconut: 1 cup
- • almond flour: 1/2 cup
- • pure maple syrup: 2 tablespoons
- • coconut oil: 2 tablespoons, melted
- • lime juice: 1 tablespoon
- • vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
- • chia seeds: 1 tablespoon
- • sea salt: 1/4 teaspoon
Instructions
- 1 Begin by preparing the base of the bars. In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, 1/2 cup shredded coconut, melted coconut oil, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, and a pinch of sea salt. Mix until well combined, forming a crumbly dough.
- 2 Press the dough evenly into the bottom of a lined 8x8 inch baking dish, creating a firm and even layer. Use the back of a spoon to smooth the surface. Place in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling.
- 3 In a food processor, combine the diced mango, avocado, remaining maple syrup, lime juice, vanilla extract, and chia seeds. Blend until smooth and creamy, ensuring no chunks remain.
- 4 Pour the mango-avocado mixture over the chilled base layer in the baking dish, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the top with the remaining shredded coconut, pressing gently to adhere.
- 5 Return the dish to the refrigerator and allow the bars to set for at least 2 hours, or until firm. Once set, slice into bars and serve chilled.
Serving Suggestions
- • These Exotic Mango and Avocado Coconut Bliss Bars are best enjoyed with a refreshing herbal tea or a chilled coconut water to enhance their tropical essence. For an extra burst of flavor, consider garnishing with fresh mint leaves or a sprinkle of lime zest. These bars also pair beautifully with a fresh fruit salad featuring kiwi and pineapple, creating a vibrant and nutrient-rich dessert spread.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For longer storage, you can freeze the bars individually wrapped in parchment paper for up to 2 months. Defrost in the refrigerator before serving to maintain their creamy texture.
