2 cups pecans
1/2 tsp ground vanilla beans, divided
1 tsp sea salt
1 1/2 cups pitted dates, divided
2/3 cup water
3 ripe mangoes, peeled, seeded and sliced
Combine the pecans, 1/4 teaspoon of the vanilla bean, sea salt and 3/4 cup of the dates in a food processor.
Press half of the mixture into the bottom of a pie pan, then set it aside.
Combine the remaining 3/4 cup dates, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla bean and water in a food processor or blender. Mix until a thick syrup forms.
Toss the mangoes and syrup in a large mixing bowl until fully combined.
Arranged the mangoes over the crust, then sprinkle the remaining crust mixture on top.
Refrigerate until set.
