Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup almond meal or flour
  • 1 1/4 cups bleached all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 10 tbsp soft butter
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 1/4 cups canned mango puree
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 6 egg yolks
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 mangos (peeled and sliced thin)
  • 1 cup raspberries
  • 1 cup pitted, halved cherries
  • 1 cup whipped cream
  • 1 tbsp confectioners' sugar

Equipment

  • 1 Tart Pan Removable bottom recommended
  • 1 Double Boiler For making mango curd
  • 1 Stand Mixer (optional but recommended for dough)

Method
 

  1. In a Stand Mixer, cream the butter and sugar with the Beater Blade. Then add the yolk and mix to combine. Add the flour and salt, blend until it comes together.
  2. Press the dough into a 9 to 10-inch Tart Pan with Removable Bottom or form the dough into a disk and refrigerate for at least an hour.
  3. Roll out the dough and transfer it into the tart pan, pressing to fit.
  4. Freeze the dough for about 15 minutes while preheating the oven to 350°F.
  5. Fill the tart shell with foil and baking beans or pie weights. Bake for about 20 minutes.
  6. In a bowl set over a double boiler, mix together the mango, lime, sugar, salt, and yolks. Stir to thicken, then add butter and strain the curd.
  7. Pour the curd into the prepared tart shell and bake at 325°F until set (15-35 minutes depending on temperature of curd). Cool to room temperature and refrigerate until well chilled.
  8. Garnish with sliced mango, raspberries, and cherries.
  9. Whip cream to medium peaks and pipe over the curd. Serve remaining cream with sliced tart.

Notes

Make the curd a few days ahead for better flavor.
