Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2 tablespoons cold water
  • 8 oz cream cheese or mascarpone cheese
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh mango puree
  • 1 tablespoon lemon or lime juice
  • 2 fresh ripe mangoes, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons apricot jam or mango preserves, warmed
  • 1 tablespoon water

Instructions

  1. Combine the flour and granulated sugar in a mixing bowl.
  2. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Add the egg yolk and cold water, mixing until a dough forms.
  4. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  5. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  6. Roll out the dough and press it into a 9-inch tart pan.
  7. Prick the bottom with a fork, line with parchment paper, and fill with pie weights.
  8. Blind bake for 15 minutes, remove the weights, and bake for an additional 10 to 12 minutes until golden brown. Cool completely.
  9. Beat the cream cheese or mascarpone until smooth.
  10. Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, mango puree, and citrus juice, mixing until fully combined.
  11. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  12. Fold the whipped cream into the mango mixture until light and fluffy.
  13. Spread the filling evenly into the cooled tart shell.
  14. Arrange the mango slices decoratively over the filling.
  15. Mix the warmed jam with water and brush over the mango slices for a glossy finish.
  16. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

Notes

  • Add passion fruit pulp over the mango topping for extra tropical flavor.
  • Use a coconut cookie crust for a different texture and flavor.
  • Spread a thin layer of melted white chocolate on the crust before filling to help keep it crisp.
  • Top with fresh berries or kiwi for a colorful fruit variation.
  • Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Freezing is not recommended due to the fresh fruit topping.
