Ingredients

Scale

For the Tart Shell

  • 1 pre-made 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

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. Combine Fruit Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, combine the diced mangoes, passionfruit pulp, sugar, and 1/4 cup water.
  3. 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.
  4. Prepare Cornstarch Slurry: In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with a tablespoon of water to create a smooth slurry without lumps.
  5. 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.
  6. Add Vanilla and Cream: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and heavy cream until fully incorporated and smooth.
  7. Fill the Tart Shell: Pour the thickened fruit filling evenly into the baked tart shell, spreading it out smoothly.
  8. 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.
