Description
A delightful tropical dessert featuring a creamy mango filling in a buttery tart shell.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg yolk
- 2 to 4 tablespoons cold water
- 1 cup mango puree (fresh or canned)
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- In a large bowl, mix the flour with the sugar until well combined.
- Incorporate the softened butter and egg yolk, blending until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Slowly add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until a dough forms.
- Evenly press the dough into a 9-inch tart pan, ensuring it covers the bottom and sides.
- Use a fork to poke holes in the base to prevent it from puffing up during baking.
- Place the tart shell in the oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until it turns a light golden color. Allow it to cool.
- In another bowl, whisk together the mango puree, sugar, eggs, melted butter, lime juice, and lime zest until creamy and smooth.
- Carefully pour the filling into the cooled tart shell.
- Return the tart to the oven and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, until the filling is set but still has a slight jiggle in the center.
- Let it cool completely at room temperature before refrigerating for at least 2 hours.
- Slice the tart and enjoy it chilled.
Notes
- For an extra tropical flair, consider mixing in some shredded coconut into the crust.
- Garnish the tart with fresh mango slices before serving.
- If you prefer a sweeter curd, increase the sugar by a couple of tablespoons.
