For the Tart Shell
For the Filling
- 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced
- 1/2 cup passionfruit pulp
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- Preheat and Prepare Shell: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the pre-made tart shell on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes until it is lightly golden and crisp.
- Combine Fruit Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, combine the diced mangoes, passionfruit pulp, sugar, and 1/4 cup water.
- Cook the Fruit Mixture: Heat the saucepan over medium heat until the mixture begins to simmer, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar and avoid burning.
- Prepare Cornstarch Slurry: In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with a tablespoon of water to create a smooth slurry without lumps.
- Thicken the Filling: Slowly add the cornstarch slurry to the simmering fruit mixture while stirring continuously. Continue cooking until the filling thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
- Add Vanilla and Cream: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and heavy cream until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Fill the Tart Shell: Pour the thickened fruit filling evenly into the baked tart shell, spreading it out smoothly.
- Cool and Chill: Allow the tart to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set the filling and enhance the flavors before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute the pre-made tart shell with a homemade graham cracker or shortcrust pastry shell.
- If passionfruit pulp is unavailable, substitute with an equal amount of orange juice for a milder tropical flavor.
- For extra decoration, top the tart with fresh mango slices or passionfruit seeds before serving.
- Ensure to stir constantly during the thickening process to prevent lumps.
- This tart is best served chilled for a refreshing dessert.
