Mango AIP Dessert Bars

Here’s a Mango AIP Dessert Bar that is like a cream pie but in an easy to eat bar. This recipe fits the Paleo and AIP diets.

What is AIP baking?

It’s baking but with AIP friendly ingredients like coconut milk, grain free flours, coconut sugar, honey, etc.

What flour is AIP?

Tapioca, cassava, coconut, tigernut, arrowroot and green plantain flours are all AIP. For this recipe, Beth Blends Grain Free Flour Blend was used which is made from tapioca, cassava, and coconut flour as well as baking soda and cream of tartar.

Is coconut sugar AIP compliant?

Yes. Not all sweeteners are excluded. Coconut sugar and honey are totally fine if you are in the elimination stage of the autoimmune protocol. Just be sure to monitor your sugar. It should be used in moderation.

Ingredients

• Beth Blends Grain Free Flour Blend: Combination of AIP friendly flours.
• Vanilla Powder or Vanilla Extract: I prefer vanilla powder, but vanilla extract can be used in this recipe.
• Coconut Sugar
• Salt: Make sure to use sea salt.
• Gelatin: Make sure to use a high quality grass-fed unflavored gelatin.
• Coconut Milk: Use an AIP friendly coconut milk. Make sure to read the ingredients.
• Palm Shortening: Use palm shortening not palm oil. It’s not the same thing!
• Mango: This can be fresh or frozen mangoes. Just make sure that the mango is defrosted if using frozen.
• Coconut Oil
• Honey
• Coconut Cream: Again, use an AIP friendly coconut cream. Make sure to read the ingredients.

How to make Mango AIP Dessert Bars

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment.

2. For the crust, combine the Grain Free Flour Blend, vanilla powder, coconut sugar, salt and stir to combine. Next add the coconut milk and palm shortening. Stir to combine.

3. Pour the dough into the pan and press down until it’s even. Place the baking dish in the oven. Bake crust for 20 minutes. Once it’s done, remove from the oven and let cool for about 15 minutes.

4. While the crust is cooling, make the filling. Add all the ingredients to a blender, until smooth. Then pour over the crust.

5. Put the pan into the refrigerator and let chill for at least 4 hours or overnight. After it’s cold, cut into squares and serve.
