Recipe Ingredients:
Crust:
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup Splenda® Sugar Blend
1/3 cup butter, melted
Filling:
3 large ripe mangoes, peeled and coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons Splenda® Sugar Blend
3 (8 ounce) packages reduced-fat cream cheese
2/3 cup Splenda® Sugar Blend

Optional Garnishes: mango slices, kiwi slices and strawberry slices
Cooking Directions:
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).

- For Filling: Combine mango and 2 tablespoons of Splenda® Sugar Blend in a blender or food processor; process until smooth. Set aside.
