Ingredients

Scale

1 1/3 cups (189 grams) unbleached all-purpose flour

5 tablespoons (63 grams) granulated sugar

1/4 cup (21 grams) sweetened shredded coconut

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

11 tablespoons (155 grams) unsalted butter, melted

1 cup (268 grams) mango puree

3 tablespoons fresh-squeezed lemon juice

1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar

2 tablespoons granulated sugar (optional for adjustment)

4 large (80 gram) egg yolks

2 large (100 grams) eggs

4 tablespoons (56 grams) unsalted butter, room temperature

1 large mango, sliced for garnish

1 cup fresh raspberries for garnish

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F and prepare a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.

In a bowl, whisk together flour, 5 tbsp sugar, salt, and shredded coconut.

Stir in melted butter until a dough forms and no flour streaks remain.

Press two-thirds of the dough into the bottom and the rest into the sides of the tart pan.

Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown; rotate halfway through.

While baking, whisk mango puree, lemon juice, sugar, yolks, and eggs in a saucepan.

Cook over medium-low heat, whisking constantly, until the curd reaches 185°F and thickens.

Remove from heat and whisk in room temperature butter one tablespoon at a time.

Strain the curd through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl.

Pour the curd into the pre-baked tart shell and smooth with an offset spatula.

Bake the filled tart for 15 minutes to set the curd.

Cool completely, then chill for at least 1.5 hours before garnishing with fruit and serving.

Notes

• The mango curd can be prepared up to 7 days in advance.

• Ensure your saucepan is non-reactive (stainless steel or glass) to prevent a metallic taste.

• Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure the curd reaches exactly 185°F for the perfect set.

• Do not let the tart sit at room temperature for more than 2 hours.
