Instructions

Creating your Mango Curd Tart can be a delightful experience when you follow these easy steps:

Make the Tart Shell

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, and butter. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Add Egg Yolk: Stir in the egg yolk and enough ice water to form a dough.
4. Chill the Dough: Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
5. Roll and Shape: On a floured surface, roll out the dough to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Press it into the pan and trim the edges.
6. Blind Bake: Prick the bottom with a fork and place baking parchment with weights on top. Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
7. Cool: Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.

Prepare the Mango Curd

8. Combine Ingredients: In a saucepan, combine mango puree, sugar, eggs, and egg yolks. Whisk until smooth.
9. Cook the Mixture: Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens (about 7-10 minutes).
10. Add Butter and Lime: Remove from heat and stir in the butter, lime juice, and zest until melted and combined.
11. Strain the Curd: Pass the mango curd mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove any lumps.
12. Cool the Curd: Allow the curd to cool slightly before pouring it into the cooled tart shell.

Chill and Serve

13. Chill: Refrigerate the tart for at least 1 hour to allow the curd to set.
14. Garnish (optional): Before serving, you can top it with whipped cream or fresh mango slices for extra flair.
