This delightfully tangy and tropical take on classic lemon bars makes our Pittman & Davis Florida Red Mangoes the star of the show! Sweet, sour, and buttery, these beautiful lemon bars are ready in less than an hour and perfect for cookouts, picnics, playdates, afternoon tea, and more. The buttery, crumbly crust offsets the creamy custard filling with its fresh mango flavor perfectly and the dusting of powdered sugar adds a touch of elegance as well as sweetness. We doubt these will last long, but leftovers should be stored in the fridge. You can even freeze them for later!
