Instructions
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Combine flour, powdered sugar, and salt. Cut in the butter until crumbly. Mix in the egg yolk and ice water until the dough comes together. Chill for 30 minutes, then roll out and press into a 9-inch tart pan. Blind bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes until golden. Cool completely.
- Make the mango curd: In a saucepan, whisk together mango puree, sugar, eggs, egg yolks, lemon juice, and lime juice. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- Finish the curd: Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter a few cubes at a time until smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract and strain through a fine-mesh sieve for an extra silky texture if desired.
- Assemble the tart: Pour the warm mango curd into the cooled tart shell and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Chill and serve: Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until fully set. Garnish with fresh mango slices, whipped cream, toasted coconut, mint, and lime zest before serving.
Notes
Choose ripe, sweet mangoes such as Ataulfo or Kent for the best flavor. The tart can be prepared a day in advance and kept refrigerated. For clean slices, chill thoroughly and use a sharp knife wiped clean between cuts.
