Paleo Mango Coconut Bites

Allergens

Tree Nuts (almonds)

Ingredients

• 1 cup raw almonds
• 1/2 cup shredded coconut, unsweetened
• 2 ripe mangoes, diced
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). In a food processor, pulse almonds until they resemble coarse crumbs. Press the mixture into the bottom and sides of a 9 inch tart pan. Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool.
2. In a large bowl, gently fold together mango pieces, honey, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined. Spoon the fruit mixture onto the cooled crust, spreading it evenly.
3. Sprinkle shredded coconut over the top of the mango layer to cover completely. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until set.

Chef’s Insight

Using ripe mangoes adds natural sweetness, reducing the need for additional sugar.

Notes

The combination of mango and coconut is a classic Thai flavor pairing, often found in desserts.
