Description
A vibrant and tangy mango curd tart with a buttery pâte sucrée crust, topped with fresh whipped cream and edible flowers for a stunning presentation and tropical flavor explosion.
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1–2 tbsp cold water
- 3 large egg yolks
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup mango purée (from fresh or frozen mango)
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream (optional, for topping)
- Fresh fruit or edible flowers (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.
- In a food processor, combine flour and powdered sugar. Add cold, cubed butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add egg yolk and pulse again. If needed, add 1-2 tablespoons of cold water until the dough comes together.
- Press the dough into the tart pan evenly across the bottom and sides. Chill for 30 minutes.
- Prick the dough with a fork and bake for 15-20 minutes or until lightly golden. Let cool completely.
- In a saucepan, whisk together egg yolks, whole egg, sugar, mango purée, lime juice, and salt.
- Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon (about 10-12 minutes).
- Remove from heat and stir in butter until fully incorporated. Strain the curd through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl.
- Pour the mango curd into the cooled tart shell and smooth the top. Chill for at least 4 hours or until set.
- Before serving, optionally whip the cream and top the tart. Garnish with fresh fruit or edible flowers if desired.
Notes
- You can use store-bought mango purée if fresh mangoes aren’t available.
- The tart can be made a day ahead and kept refrigerated.
- Edible flowers and whipped cream add a beautiful finishing touch but are optional.
