Description

A refreshing mango curd tart with a buttery crust.


Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Tart Crust:
    • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
    • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
    • 1 large egg yolk
    • 12 tablespoons cold water
  • For the Mango Curd:
    • 1 cup fresh mango puree (about 2 ripe mangoes)
    • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
    • 3 large eggs
    • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cut into pieces)
    • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Tart Crust
    1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
    2. Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and powdered sugar. Add the cold, cubed butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
    3. Add Egg Yolk: Stir in the egg yolk and mix until combined. Add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together.
    4. Chill Dough: Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
    5. Roll and Bake: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to fit your tart pan. Press the dough into the pan and trim the edges. Prick the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling. Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until lightly golden. Let cool completely.
  2. Make the Mango Curd
    1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, whisk together the mango puree, granulated sugar, and eggs until well combined.
    2. Cook Mixture: Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon (about 8–10 minutes). Do not let it boil.
    3. Add Butter and Flavor: Remove from heat and stir in the butter, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until smooth.
    4. Cool Curd: Allow the mango curd to cool slightly before pouring it into the cooled tart crust.
  3. Assemble the Tart
    1. Fill Tart: Pour the mango curd into the baked tart shell, spreading it evenly.
    2. Chill: Refrigerate the tart for at least 2 hours to set the curd.
  4. Serve
    1. Garnish: Once set, you can garnish the tart with fresh mango slices, whipped cream, or mint leaves if desired.
    2. Enjoy: Slice and serve your delicious Mango Curd Tart.

Notes
