For the Tart
  • 1 tart pastry shell 1 tart pastry shell (store-bought or homemade)
For the Filling

  • 1 teaspoon 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup 1/4 cup heavy cream Can substitute with coconut cream for a dairy-free option.
  • 1 tablespoon 1 tablespoon cornstarch Used for thickening the filling.
  • 1/4 cup 1/4 cup water

Method
 

Preparation
  1. If you are using store-bought pastry, follow the packaging instructions to bake it until golden. If you're making your own, roll out your favorite tart pastry dough and fit it into a tart pan. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes until lightly browned.
  2. While the shell cools, peel and slice the ripe mangoes. In a blending bowl, combine the mango slices with sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  3. In a small pot, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Gradually heat this over medium heat, stirring constantly until it thickens. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly before mixing it into the mango puree.
Assembly
  1. Pour the mango mixture into the cooled tart shell, smoothing it to create an even layer.
  2. Refrigerate the tart for at least 2 hours to set properly.
Serving
  1. Once it’s set, slice and garnish with fresh whipped cream or mint leaves if desired. Now, enjoy your Mango Tart!

Notes

Cover the tart with plastic wrap or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. It's best served chilled, and freezing is not recommended as it may alter the texture of the filling.
