Mango Curd Tart

Indulge in a delightful Mango Curd Tart with a buttery crust and a luscious mango filling, brightened with zesty lime.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 3 tablespoons ice water
  • 2 ripe mangoes, pureed
  • 1/2 cup sugar (for filling)
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1 cup whipped cream (for topping)
  • Fresh fruit (for topping, optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Tart Crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the cold butter and blend until coarse crumbs form.
  2. Bring it Together: Add the egg yolk and ice water, mixing gently until the dough holds. Chill for flakiness if desired.
  3. Roll the Dough: Roll it into a 12-inch circle and press it into a 9-inch tart pan. Trim excess dough and prick the bottom.
  4. Blind Bake: Line with parchment, fill with pie weights, and bake for 15 minutes. Remove weights and bake for another 10 minutes until golden. Cool.
  5. Make the Mango Curd: In a saucepan, combine mango puree, sugar, eggs, and lime juice on medium heat, whisking until thickened, about 10-12 minutes.
  6. Add the Melted Butter: Stir in the melted butter until incorporated and allow to cool slightly.
  7. Assemble the Tart: Pour the cooled mango curd into the tart shell and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
  8. Serve and Garnish: Top with whipped cream and fresh fruit before serving.

Notes

For a vegan option, use coconut oil, flax egg, and silken tofu. Enjoy guilt-free and serve chilled for the best experience.
