Instructions
Creating Mango Curd Tart is a delightful process when you follow these simple steps:
For the Tart Crust:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, softened butter, and sugar. Mix until crumbly.
3. Add Egg Yolk: Add the egg yolk and mix until combined. If the mixture is too dry, add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, until dough forms.
4. Form the Crust: Press the dough into a 9-inch tart pan evenly across the bottom and up the sides.
5. Chill: Refrigerate the crust for 15 minutes to firm it up.
6. Bake: Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool.
For the Mango Curd:
7. Prepare the Mango: In a blender, puree the ripe mangoes until smooth.
8. Combine Ingredients: In a saucepan, whisk together the mango puree, sugar, eggs, lime juice, and lime zest.
9. Cook Mixture: Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until it thickens (about 10-12 minutes).
10. Add Butter: Remove from heat and stir in the cubed butter until melted and smooth.
11. Cool Curd: Let the mango curd cool for about 10 minutes before pouring it into the cooled tart shell.
12. Chill: Refrigerate the tart for at least 2 hours or until the curd is set.
