Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Almond flour
• 0.5 cup Coconut oil
• 0.25 cup Maple syrup
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 cups Fresh mango, peeled and diced
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Coconut cream
• 1 teaspoon Agar agar powder

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal later.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and salt. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.

Step 3

Press the crust mixture evenly into the prepared pan. Use your fingers or the bottom of a flat measuring cup to pack it down firmly.

Step 4

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.

Step 5

Meanwhile, in a blender, add the diced mango, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and no lumps remain.

Step 6

Transfer the mango mixture to a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the coconut cream and agar agar powder.

Step 7

Cook the mango mixture, stirring constantly, until it starts to thicken and simmer gently, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 8

Pour the hot mango filling over the pre-baked crust, spreading it out evenly.

Step 9

Bake in the oven for an additional 20 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly firm to the touch.

Step 10

Allow the bars to cool in the pan at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then transfer them to the refrigerator to chill for at least 1 hour before slicing.

Step 11

Once chilled, use the parchment overhang to lift the bars out of the pan. Cut into squares and serve.

Step 12

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
