Ingredients (serves 4):

For the blintzes:

- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup mango puree

For the filling:

- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup mango puree
- 1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut

Cooking tips:

- Make sure to use a non-stick pan to cook the blintzes.
- Use a blender or food processor to make the mango puree.
- Let the blintzes cool for a few minutes before filling them with the cream cheese mixture.

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, milk, eggs, and melted butter until smooth. Stir in the shredded coconut and mango puree.
2. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan and swirl it around to coat the bottom of the pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, until lightly browned. Repeat with the remaining batter.
3. In a separate bowl, mix together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, mango puree, and shredded coconut until smooth.
4. To assemble the blintzes, place a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each blintz. Fold the sides over the filling and roll up tightly.
5. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Place the blintzes seam-side down in the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until lightly browned.
6. Serve the blintzes warm, topped with additional mango puree and shredded coconut.
