When creating your Tropical Mango Coconut Bliss Bites, the incorporation of shredded coconut is crucial for achieving the perfect texture and flavor. Instead of blending the coconut, it's recommended to pulse it in a food processor. This method allows you to maintain the desired bite-sized texture while ensuring that the coconut's rich aroma and flavor remain intact. By pulsing, you avoid turning the coconut into a fine powder, which could alter the consistency of your bliss bites, making them less enjoyable to eat. The slight chunkiness of the shredded coconut contributes to the overall experience, giving each bite a delightful chew that complements the smoothness of the mango.

Ingredients
  

2 cups ripe mango chunks (fresh or frozen)

1 cup coconut milk (canned)

½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut

3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust according to your preferred sweetness)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

¼ teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon lime juice (freshly squeezed)

Optional toppings: Extra shredded coconut, crushed nuts, or cacao nibs for added flavor and crunch

Instructions
 

Begin by placing the ripe mango chunks, coconut milk, your choice of honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, salt, and freshly squeezed lime juice into a blender or food processor.

    Blend the mixture on high speed until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides of the blender for an even blend.

      Once the mixture is beautifully blended, add the unsweetened shredded coconut and pulse several times, just enough to incorporate it. This step adds a delightful texture that will enhance the bliss bites.

        Carefully transfer the mixture into a silicone mold or an ice cube tray, ensuring that you fill each compartment about three-quarters full to allow for expansion as they freeze.

          If desired, sprinkle some extra shredded coconut, crushed nuts, or cacao nibs on top of each filled compartment for an extra flavor boost and visual appeal.

            Place the mold in the freezer and allow the mixture to freeze thoroughly for a minimum of 4-6 hours, or until the bites are completely solid.

              Once frozen, gently pop the bliss bites out of the mold. Store them in an airtight container, ensuring they are well-sealed for freshness.

                Enjoy these delightful bites straight from the freezer as a refreshing snack or a healthy dessert!
