MANGO CURD TART: Recipe. Coconut Crust dessert.

Ingredients

  • all-purpose flour
  • unsweetened shredded coconut
  • granulated sugar
  • unsalted butter
  • salt
  • large eggs
  • egg yolks
  • fresh mango pulp
  • lime juice
  • lime zest
  • full-fat coconut milk
  • powdered sugar
  • vanilla extract

    • Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grab a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. In a food processor, combine the all-purpose flour, unsweetened shredded coconut, granulated sugar, and salt. Pulse a few times to combine. Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal with some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining. Turn the mixture into the prepared tart pan and use your fingers or the bottom of a glass to press it evenly into the bottom and up the sides. Ensure the crust is uniformly thin, about 1/4-inch thick. Prick the bottom of the crust all over with a fork and then place it in the freezer for 15 minutes. Bake the crust for 18-20 minutes, or until it’s lightly golden brown and fragrant. Let it cool completely on a wire rack while you prepare the mango curd.
  • In a medium heatproof bowl, whisk together the large eggs, extra egg yolks, and granulated sugar until well combined and slightly pale. Stir in the fresh mango pulp, fresh lime juice, and lime zest. Pour this mixture into a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring constantly with a whisk or rubber spatula, for about 8-12 minutes, until the curd thickens significantly and coats the back of a spoon. It should reach about 170°F (77°C). Don’t let it boil! Once thickened, remove it from the heat and stir in the remaining cold unsalted butter until fully melted and incorporated. For the smoothest curd possible, press it through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl. Cover the surface directly with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming and refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours, or preferably overnight, until thoroughly chilled and firmly set.
  • Start with a can of full-fat coconut milk that has been thoroughly chilled in the refrigerator overnight. Carefully open the can without shaking it, and spoon out only the thick, white cream that has risen to the top, leaving the liquid behind. Place the thick coconut cream into a chilled mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer, whisk the coconut cream on high speed until it becomes light, fluffy, and forms soft peaks. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to whip until everything is beautifully combined and the cream is smooth and firm enough to hold its shape.
  • Once your coconut crust is completely cool and your mango curd is thoroughly chilled and set, carefully spoon the glorious, vibrant mango curd into the baked coconut crust, spreading it evenly with an offset spatula or the back of a spoon. If you plan to serve it immediately, dollop or pipe generous amounts of the freshly prepared whipped coconut cream on top of the curd. You can cover the entire surface or create beautiful swirls in the center. For a truly professional finish, use a piping bag with a star tip to create elegant rosettes.
