- 240 ml Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 Fresh mango

Directions
Step 1
Crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and rolling with a rolling pin.
Step 2
Melt the butter and mix it thoroughly with the graham cracker crumbs until they resemble wet sand.
Step 3
Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of an 8x8-inch square baking dish to form a crust. Chill in the fridge for 10 minutes.
Step 4
In a medium bowl, whisk the sweetened condensed milk and lime juice together until thick and well combined.
Step 5
Pour the lime mixture over the chilled graham cracker crust and spread it into an even layer.
Step 6
In another mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar together using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
Step 7
Spread the whipped cream over the lime layer, smoothing it out with a spatula.
Step 8
Peel and dice the fresh mango into small cubes. Dice the pineapple into similarly sized pieces.
Step 9
Sprinkle the diced mango, pineapple, shredded coconut, and chopped pecans over the whipped cream layer evenly as toppings.
Step 10
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set before serving.
Step 11
Cut into squares and serve chilled for a refreshing tropical treat.
