Ingredients
  

For the Crust:

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs

½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

3 tablespoons brown sugar

¼ teaspoon salt

For the Cheesecake Filling:

16 oz (450 g) cream cheese, softened

½ cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/3 cup fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)

1 ½ cups ripe mango puree (about 2-3 ripe mangos)

1 cup heavy whipping cream

For the Topping:

1 cup fresh mango, diced

1 tablespoon lime juice

Mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, shredded coconut, melted butter, brown sugar, and salt. Stir until well mixed and the mixture resembles wet sand. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a lined 9x9 inch (or similar size) baking dish to form an even crust. Refrigerate while you prepare the filling.

    Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, continuing to beat until well combined.

      Add Flavors: Mix in the vanilla extract and lime juice until fully incorporated. Then, add the mango puree and blend until the mixture is smooth and vibrant in color.

        Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.

          Assemble the Bars: Pour the cheesecake filling over the chilled crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Tap the dish gently on the countertop to eliminate any air bubbles. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.

            Prepare the Topping: In a small bowl, combine the diced fresh mango with lime juice to enhance the flavor. Gently mix to coat the mango.

              Serve: Once the cheesecake is fully set, remove from the refrigerator and carefully lift it out of the pan using the parchment paper. Cut into bars using a sharp knife. Top each bar with a spoonful of the lime-coated mango and garnish with mint leaves, if desired.

                Enjoy: Serve chilled and enjoy the tropical flavors of your No-Bake Mango Cheesecake Bars!
