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
- 1–2 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
- Prepare the Tart Crust
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- 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.
- 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.
- Chill Dough: Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- 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.
- Make the Mango Curd
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, whisk together the mango puree, granulated sugar, and eggs until well combined.
- 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.
- Add Butter and Flavor: Remove from heat and stir in the butter, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Cool Curd: Allow the mango curd to cool slightly before pouring it into the cooled tart crust.
- Assemble the Tart
- Fill Tart: Pour the mango curd into the baked tart shell, spreading it evenly.
- Chill: Refrigerate the tart for at least 2 hours to set the curd.
- Serve
- Garnish: Once set, you can garnish the tart with fresh mango slices, whipped cream, or mint leaves if desired.
- Enjoy: Slice and serve your delicious Mango Curd Tart.
Notes
- Use ripe mangoes for the best flavor.
- Allow the tart to chill fully for the best texture.
