Description
A refreshing Mango Coconut Tart that combines the sweetness of ripe mangoes with creamy coconut milk, all nestled in a flaky coconut crust.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg yolk
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced
- 1 cup coconut milk
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Whipped cream (optional)
- Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, shredded coconut, and powdered sugar. Add the softened butter and mix until crumbly.
- Stir in the egg yolk and cold water until the dough comes together. If the dough is too dry, add a little more water, one teaspoon at a time.
- Press the dough into a 9-inch tart pan evenly across the bottom and up the sides. Prick the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling.
- Bake the crust for 15-20 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the coconut milk, granulated sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk until smooth and cook until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and fold in the diced mangoes. Pour the filling into the cooled tart crust and spread evenly.
- Refrigerate the tart for at least 2 hours to set.
- Before serving, top with whipped cream and garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
Notes
- For a tropical twist, add a tablespoon of lime juice to the filling for extra flavor.
- Substitute the mangoes with other fruits like peaches or berries for a different taste.
