Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3 large eggs
- 1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup pineapple, finely diced
- 1 cup mango, finely diced
- 0.5 cup shredded coconut
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar, and salt. Pour in the melted butter and stir until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Press the crust mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
While the crust cools, prepare the tropical fruit filling. In a large bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Add the sweetened condensed milk, pineapple, mango, coconut, lime zest, and lime juice. Stir until well combined.
Pour the fruit filling over the pre-baked crust and spread it out evenly using a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly golden around the edges.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely at room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.
Lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Slice into 12 even bars using a sharp knife. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
