Mango Tart Tatin 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:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In the food processor (or, alternatively, in a bowl), blend the flour, sugar and salt. Add the butter and pulse to blend (or mix in with your fingers) until the mixture is crumbly. Add the yolk, blend it in. If the dough does not hold together when pressed between 2 fingers, add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it does. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured flat surface. Knead the dough until smooth, flatten it and wrap in plastic. Refrigerate.
• Put the mangoes on a flat surface and, one by one, hold the mangoes upright and cut one slice off each "side". It's like quartering apples only you are avoiding the large pit in the center of each mango. Make each slice as deep as you can to extract the maximum flesh from each mango. Slice the smaller piece off the top and bottom of each fruit as well.
• In a skillet over low heat, melt the sugar until it becomes golden brown. Add the butter (it will bubble up). Remove the skillet from the heat and pour equal amounts of the caramelized sugar mixture into each ramekin. Divide the mango pieces among the ramekins and press the fruit into the caramel sauce.
• Roll the dough on a floured surface (or, alternatively, between 2 pieces of waxed paper) and cut out circles that fit the tops of the ramekins. Tuck the dough edges inside the ramekins so it covers the fruit. It is as if you are tucking the fruit into a pastry bed.
• Place the ramekins on a sheet pan and into the center of the oven and bake until the pastry browns, 15 to 18 minutes. Remove the ramekins from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes.
• Unmolding: Don't be afraid of failure. A tarte tatin is nice when imperfect! Place a plate over the pastry topping and flip the tart on to the plate. You can do it! Pour the reserved caramel back over the tart. If any fruit remains in the bottom of the skillet, simply dislodge it and insert it any fruit gaps before serving. Serve warm with ice cream or a dollop of sour cream.

Steps:

• Make pastry dough by placing flour, butter, egg yolk, powdered sugar, and salt in food processor and pulsing until texture resembles a course meal. Add water tablespoon by tablespoon. Assemble dough into small ball, wrap in plastic film and flatten to 1-inch circle. Chill for 30 minutes.
• Roll out dough and cut into 4 1/4-inch rounds and let chill for another 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Make caramel in non-reactive pan with sugar and water. Heat 6 (5-inch) cast iron blini pans, or 6 (8-ounce) ramekins in the oven.
• When sugar and water is a warm amber color, place pan in bowl of cold water to stop cooking. Pour caramel into hot pans, and fill with mango slices. Brush mango slices with melted butter. Prick pastry rounds with fork and place on top of mangoes. Bake in a 400-degree oven for 25 minutes or until pastry is browned.

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:

• Preheat the oven to 220 degrees F.
• To make the coconut meringue, whip the egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks. Add the sugar slowly and continue to whip until sugar is dissolved and meringue reaches the stiff peak stage. Fold in the toasted shredded coconut and place meringue into a pastry bag with a plain round tip. Pipe the meringue onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper into a circular motion to create a disk the diameter of 4-ounce ramekins. Bake until light golden brown, about 2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• For the mango Tart Tatin: In a medium skillet, over medium high heat, combine the water, sugar, honey, and lemon juice. Scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean and add them to the skillet. Cook until the mixture just starts to caramelize, and add the mangos. Stir until the mangos are coated. Continue to cook for 2 minutes, and then remove from heat. With a slotted spoon remove mangos from cooking liquid. Place mangos into a container and let cool to room temperature. Reserve the cooking liquid for the sauce.
• When the mangos have cooled, pack them into a buttered, 4-ounce ceramic ramekin and bake approximately 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and invert onto a coconut meringue disk.
• To make the tangerine honey sauce, add the mint leaves to the warm cooking liquid from the mangos. Stir to incorporate, set aside, and keep at room temperature.
• To make the papaya sorbet, dissolve the sugar and water in a large container. Add the papaya puree and lemon juice and freeze in an ice cream machine according to manufacturer's directions.
• Preheat oven to 200 degrees F.
• Oven-dried spiced pineapples: In a medium sized saucepan, combine the water, sugar, vanilla paste, cardamom seeds, cloves, and cinnamon sticks. Bring just to a boil. Remove from heat and add the pineapple slices. Soak the slices in the hot syrup for 2 to 3 minutes. With a slotted spoon remove the slices and drain well. Place pineapple slices onto a silicone baking mat or a parchment lined sheet tray in a single layer. Do not let the slices touch each other. Bake for 1 1/2 to 2 hours and remove from oven and let cool to room temperature. Store in airtight container.
• Place the tart tatin in the center of a plate. Place a small scoop of the sorbet on the side or on top of the tart, surround the tart with the honey sauce, and garnish with the dried pineapple chips.

Steps:

• Halve and core apples. Set aside one half. Quarter remaining apples and transfer to a large bowl. Squeeze lemon over apple slices and set aside.
• Combine sugar and water in a 9-inch cast-iron skillet. Bring mixture to a boil over medium-high heat; immediately reduce heat to medium and cook until mixture begins to thicken and turn amber. Remove from heat and stir in butter.
• Place reserved apples in center of skillet. Decoratively arrange remaining apple slices, cut side up, in skillet around reserved apples. Continue layering slices until level with top of skillet. Cut any remaining apples into thick slices to fill in gaps. If fruit does not completely fill pan, tart will collapse when inverted.
• Place skillet over low heat and cook until syrup thickens and is reduced by half, about 20 minutes. Do not let syrup burn. Remove from heat and let cool.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
• Roll out pate brisee to a 10- to 11-inch circle, about 1/8 inch thick; transfer to a baking sheet and chill until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Place pate brisee over apples and tuck edges. Transfer skillet to prepared baking sheet; transfer baking sheet to oven and bake until golden brown, about 35 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool 15 to 20 minutes. Loosen pastry from skillet using a sharp knife. Place a rimmed platter over skillet; quickly and carefully invert. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Unroll the puff pastry, place on a baking sheet and chill for 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 200 °C/400 °F. Melt butter in a small pan, sprinkle in the sugar and allow to melt over low heat. Increase heat and, when mixture turns golden, pour immediately into a 25 cm tart tin.
• Starting at the outside edges of the tin, arrange mango in a circle over caramel, overlapping slices slightly.
• Carefully lay the chilled pastry over fruit, tucking the edges down inside the tin. Prick top of pastry with a fork, place tin in the oven and bake for 15 minutes.
• Leave to rest for 5 minutes before inverting the tart o a serving plate. Sprinkle with pine nuts and serve.
• Enjoy!
