Ingredients

Tart Crust Ingredients

  • All-purpose flour: 1 1/4 cups (150g)
  • Sugar: 2 tablespoons
  • Salt: 1/4 teaspoon
  • Cold butter: 1/2 cup (115g), cut into small cubes
  • Cold water: 3-4 tablespoons

Mango Curd Ingredients

  • Fresh mangoes: 2 large ripe mangoes, pureed (about 1 1/2 cups)
  • Egg yolks: 4 large
  • Sugar: 3/4 cup (150g)
  • Butter: 4 tablespoons (60g)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the tart crust: Mix flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Add cold butter cubes and blend with a pastry cutter or fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add cold water, mixing until dough just comes together. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Blind bake the crust: Roll out chilled dough on a floured surface to fit your tart pan. Press dough evenly into the pan and prick bottom with a fork. Line with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15 minutes. Remove weights and parchment, then bake another 10 minutes until golden. Let cool completely.
  3. Make the mango curd: In a heatproof bowl, whisk egg yolks with sugar until smooth. Over simmering water, slowly add pureed mango and butter, stirring constantly. Cook gently until mixture thickens to a custard-like consistency. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally to prevent skin formation.
  4. Assemble the tart: Pour the cooled mango curd into the cooled tart shell, smoothing the surface with an offset spatula. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to fully set before serving.

Notes

  • Use ripe mangoes for the best flavor and color.
  • Cook mango curd on low heat, stirring constantly to avoid scrambling eggs.
  • Let crust cool completely before filling to prevent sogginess.
  • Cover curd surface with plastic wrap while chilling to avoid skin formation.
  • Use a tart pan with removable bottom for easy removal and presentation.
