Crust

• 1 cup salted butter, room temperature
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 cups all-purpose flour

Filling

• 1/2 cup diced mango
• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• Confectioner’s sugar for garnish

Directions

Filling

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a stand mixer, mix together butter, sugar and flour. Press into the bottom of a parchment lined 9x13 inch pan.
3. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until firm and golden then remove to prepare filling.

Crust

1. Add a diced mango and lime juice to heavy duty blender or food processor and puree until completely smooth.
2. In a medium sized bowl, whisk together granulated sugar and flour to combine dry ingredients. Next, whisk in the eggs, lemon juice, ¼ cup of prepared mango puree, and vanilla extract. Pour over the baked crust.
3. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until no longer liquidy or jiggly. The bars will firm up more as they cool.
4. Once cooled to room temperature, dust with confectioner’s sugar, cut and serve.
