mango egg tarts

Mango egg tarts, a delightful fusion of creamy custard and sweet mango, are a favorite dessert. Here’s a simple guide to making them at home.

Ingredients: For the tart shell, you’ll need 100g all-purpose flour, 50g cold butter, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 2-3 tablespoons ice water. For the filling, mix 2 eggs, 200ml milk, 100ml heavy cream, 50g sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Fresh mango slices are a must for topping.

Steps:

1. Make the crust: Rub cold butter into flour until crumbly, add sugar and ice water, knead into a smooth dough. Rest for 30 minutes, then roll out and line tart molds. Bake at 180°C for 15 minutes until golden.

2. Prepare filling: Whisk eggs, milk, cream, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Strain for a smoother texture.

3. Assemble & bake: Pour filling into pre-baked shells, add mango slices on top. Bake at 160°C for 20-25 minutes until the custard sets. Chill before serving for the best taste.

Tips: Overripe mangoes work best for sweetness. For a tropical twist, add a tablespoon of mango puree to the filling. Enjoy these tarts warm or cold—they’re perfect for any occasion!
