Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x13 inch baking dish by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, unsweetened shredded coconut, melted unsalted butter, and granulated sugar. Stir until mixture resembles wet sand. Press into the bottom of the prepared baking dish and bake for 10 minutes. Allow to cool completely.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add granulated sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. Incorporate coconut cream and mango puree until blended. Add eggs one at a time, mixing gently.
  4. Pour the filling over the cooled crust and bake for 30 to 35 minutes until edges are set and center is slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the door ajar for 1 hour.
  5. Transfer to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. Garnish with fresh mango slices and toasted coconut flakes before serving.
