Mango Cream Tart Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375˚F (190˚C).
• In a large bowl, beat the egg.
• Add the butter and sugar, and mix.
• Add the flour and mix until combined. The dough will be crumbly in your hand.
• Transfer the crust mixture into a greased 8-inch (20 cm) tart pan one handful at a time, pressing it down to create an even, thin layer over the entire pan, about ¼ inch (6 mm).
• NOTE: Freeze and save remaining pie crust crumble for later.
• Prick the crust with a fork to prevent it from puffing up in the oven.
• Bake the crust for 30-40 minutes, or until golden brown.
• On a cutting board, cut a half inch (1 cm) off the bottom and top off the mango to give it a flat base. Standing it upright, make exterior slices from the top to bottom to take the skin off.
• Remove the meat from the sides and thinly slice.
• In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, Greek yogurt, orange zest, sugar, orange juice, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly.
• Transfer the yogurt mixture to the cooled tart crust.
• Starting from the outer edge, place mango slices in a circular pattern, making full rotations all the way to the center.
• Chill the fruit tart for at least an hour.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Peel the mangoes and cut them into pieces. Place the mango pieces in a medium-sized saucepan with water to cover and cook them over low heat for 10 minutes, or until very tender. When cooked, put the mango through a food mill until you have a thin pulp. Place the pulp in a small bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and chill it for 1 hour. Meanwhile, whip the cream with an electric mixer or wire whisk, slowly fold in the sweetened cream, stirring only enough to make sure that the ingredients are well mixed. Pour the mango cream into individual sherbet glasses, sprinkle each serving with some of the toasted coconut garnish with mint and serve.

Steps:

• Prepare the crust: Add the gingersnaps to a food processor, roughly breaking them as you go, then pulse them into fine crumbs. (You should have about 2 1/4 cups). Add the melted butter, light brown sugar and salt to combine. Transfer the mixture to a 9-inch springform pan, then press it evenly into the base and halfway up the sides of the pan. Freeze while you make the filling.
• Prepare the filling: In a medium saucepan, heat the mango, sugar, ginger, turmeric and salt over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mango is very soft and starts to break down, 8 to 12 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes.
• Place 3 tablespoons cool water in a small microwave-safe bowl. Sprinkle the gelatin over the water and let bloom for 5 minutes. Microwave until fluid, 15 to 30 seconds. (Alternatively, the bowl of gelatin can be placed over a small pot of simmering water until melted.)
• Wipe out the bowl of the food processor, add the mango mixture and pulse until mostly smooth. Add the cream cheese and confectioners' sugar and pulse until combined and smooth. Scrape the bowl well, then pulse again to combine. Add the cream and process for 1 minute. Finally, add the melted gelatin and pulse briefly to combine.
• Transfer the mixture to the chilled crust and gently spread into an even layer. Wrap the pan in plastic wrap, transfer to the refrigerator, and chill for 12 hours (or up to 24 hours).
• Gently run a small offset spatula or thin knife around the outer edge of the cake to loosen the crust, then release the outer ring. Run a large thin knife between the springform base and the bottom of the cake and use a large spatula to gently transfer the cake to a serving platter. (Alternatively, you can keep the cake on the base and transfer them together to a serving platter.)
• If using any of the garnishes, sprinkle them around the outside edge just before slicing and serving.

Steps:

• For the lime shortbread crust: Position an oven rack in the top third of the oven. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Add the flour, granulated sugar and salt to a food processor and pulse 2 to 3 times to combine. Add the cold butter cubes and pulse until the butter breaks down into small, uniform-size pieces, about the size of small pebbles. Add the lime zest and egg yolks and process a few more seconds or until the mixture looks like wet sand; the dough will not come together into a ball.
• Spray a 9-inch nonstick tart pan lightly with cooking spray, making sure to spray the sides of the pan as well as the bottom. Pour the dough into the tart pan and spread evenly. Using your hands, press the dough into the bottom and up the sides of the pan. To prevent any dough from falling out of the pan, place your left thumb over the top of the pan along the crust and press the dough up the sides with your right pointer finger. This way, you will tightly pack the dough along the sides with your pointer finger and stop it at the top of the pan with your left thumb. Continue to press the dough into the pan and along the sides until it is tightly packed and evenly distributed. Poke the bottom of the crust with a fork all over and then place the tart pan on a baking sheet.
• Bake until the sides of the crust are a deep golden brown and the crust bottom is light golden brown on top, about 25 minutes. Let cool completely.
• For the mango filling: Add the mango and lime juice to a blender and puree on high speed for 1 minute until completely smooth. Hold in the blender.
• In a small bowl, mix together the gelatin and 1/2 cup of the coconut milk. Let stand 5 minutes. As the gelatin rehydrates, the coconut milk will begin to look curdled; don't worry--it isn't.
• Set a medium saucepan over medium heat and add the granulated sugar, salt and remaining coconut milk (about 1 1/4 cups). Stir the mixture together and bring to a simmer. Continue to simmer until the sugar melts completely; the coconut milk will become opaque. Remove from the heat and immediately whisk in the gelatin mixture. until completely melted. Strain the mango mixture into the coconut milk mixture and whisk again to combine. Let the mixture cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes.
• Using a hand mixer, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Fold the whipped cream into the mango filling and then pour the entire filling into the cooled tart crust; the filling will come to the very top of the crust. Refrigerate for 2 hours to set the filling completely. You can make the tart up to this point 1 day in advance.
• For the tequila-lime glaze: Line a baking sheet with a cooling rack. Cut the 2 larger sides of the mango off of the pit, followed by the 2 smaller sides. Peel the 4 pieces of mango, then cut them into 1/4-inch half-moon slices.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the confectioner' sugar, tequila and lime juice. Dip each slice of mango into the glaze and coat completely. Let drip dry over the bowl for a few seconds, then lay the mango pieces on the cooling rack for at least 15 minutes for the glaze to set.
• When ready to serve, remove the tart from the tart pan and place on a cake stand. Lay the mango slices in a circle around the tart, setting aside the smallest slice for later; the mango slices will meet in the center of the tart and then fan out overlapping each other around the tart. Roll the reserved mango slice into a rosette and place in the center of the tart. Garnish with the lime zest and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Make the pate brisee: Pulse flour, salt, and granulated sugar in a food processor until combined. Add butter; pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal, 8 to 10 seconds. Drizzle 1/4 cup ice water evenly over mixture. Pulse until mixture holds together when pressed between 2 fingers (dough should not be wet or sticky). If dough is too dry, add more ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and pulse. Shape dough into a disk, and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour and up to 1 day. Let stand at room temperature 5 minutes before rolling.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Roll out pate brisee into a 15-inch round (1/8 inch thick) on a lightly floured surface. Fit dough into a 12 1/2-inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom, pressing dough well into pan's edge. Trim edge flush with top rim of pan. Prick bottom all over with a fork. Freeze until hard, about 20 minutes. Line with parchment, pressing parchment deep into corners of pan so it is flush with dough and leaving a 3-inch overhang. Fold overhang over dough edge so it is not exposed. Fill with pie weights or dried beans, and bake until edge of shell begins to turn golden, about 30 minutes, rotating halfway through. Remove weights and parchment. Reduce temperature to 325 degrees. Tent edge with foil, and bake until golden brown, 25 to 27 minutes more. Let cool slightly, about 20 minutes.
• Make the filling: Mix together granulated and brown sugars, salt, and cornmeal. Whisk in eggs, yolk, and vanilla; then butter and coconut. Spread filling into tart shell. Bake until just set and lightly golden, 22 to 24 minutes. Let cool completely.
• Make the topping: Peel mangoes, and cut in half, removing pits. Brush with lemon juice. Very thinly slice each half crosswise. Beat together cream and confectioners' sugar until medium peaks form. Spread one-third of cream mixture over top of filling. Fill a pastry bag fitted with a large open star tip (such as Ateco #829) with remaining cream mixture, and pipe randomly spaced swirls of cream. Twist 3 to 5 mango slices at a time into spirals, and nestle between cream swirls. Heat corn syrup and water until combined. Brush mango spirals with syrup. Refrigerate tart until chilled, about 20 minutes and up to 4 hours.

Steps:

• Beat cream cheese, mascarpone cheese, and sugar together until creamy. Blend in heavy cream to make a thick, custard consistency. Fold in drained mangoes. Divide mixture between prepared crusts. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Steps:

• Prepare pastry:
• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Unfold pastry sheet on a greased baking sheet, then turn over (to prevent creases from splitting during baking). Trim edges with a sharp knife. Brush pastry lightly with egg (do not allow to drip down sides). Create a 3/4-inch border all around by lightly scoring a line parallel to each edge of pastry (do not cut all the way through). Prick inner rectangle evenly with a fork, then sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar.
• Bake in lower third of oven 15 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown. Transfer to a rack and cool to room temperature.
• Make cream and cut mangoes while pastry bakes and cools:
• Whisk together sour cream, cream cheese, remaining 3 tablespoons sugar, and zest.
• Thinly slice mangoes lengthwise with a mandoline or other manual slicer or a sharp knife (be careful because peeled mango is slippery), then halve wide slices lengthwise.
• Assemble tart:
• Just before serving, spread cream over inner rectangle of pastry and top with mangoes, folding decoratively.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. On a lightly floured surface, roll out piecrust to a 1/8-inch thickness. Transfer the crust to a 9-inch-round tart pan with removable bottom, and press it into the bottom edges and up the sides. Use a rolling pin to trim the dough flush with the edges of the pan. Lighly prick the bottom of the dough with a fork. Transfer crust to refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes.
• Remove the crust from the refrigerator, and carefully line it with parchment paper, gently pressing the parchment into the edges of the crust; weigh down parchment with dried beans or pie weights.
• Bake until the edges of the pastry begin to turn golden, about 15 minutes. Carefully remove the pie weights and the parchment paper. Continue to bake until crust is golden brown in color, 15 to 20 minutes more. Transfer the crust to a wire rack to cool completely.
• When tart shell is completely cool, fill with lime curd using a small offset spatula to smooth top. Cut mango flesh away from pits, and slice to 1/8-inch thickness. Arrange fruit in a spiraling design on top of lime curd.
• Place apricot jam and 1 tablespoon water in a small saucepan over medium heat until warm and thin. Pass mixture through a fine-mesh sieve. Using a pastry brush, coat mangoes with jam. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
