Mango and vanilla cream tart

Chill the dough for an hour before baking; that’s how this mango and vanilla cream tart starts with a tender base that holds the vanilla cream and fresh fruit. The cream settles into a smooth layer, and the glaze on top gives it a shine and keeps the slices in place. I cut it thinly, so each slice has a bit of crust and cream. Preparation: 35 minutes. Cooking: 38-43 minutes. Resting: 120 minutes. Total time: 193-198 minutes. Servings: 8. Approximately 480 kcal and 10 g protein per serving.
Ingredients
For the dough
- 250 g flour
- 30 g powdered sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 100 g cold butter
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons sour cream (30 g)
- 5 g butter for greasing the pan
For the vanilla cream
- 500 ml milk
- 3 eggs
- 100 g sugar
- 3 tablespoons flour (24 g)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 100 g butter
For the topping
- 3 mangoes
- 1 packet tart glaze (10 g)
- 250 ml water
Preparation
1. Mix the flour with the powdered sugar and salt. Rub in the cold butter, cut into cubes, with your fingertips, then add the egg, lemon zest, vanilla extract and sour cream. Knead just until you have a smooth dough, wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for an hour. 2. Heat the oven to 180°C and grease a 26 cm tart pan with 5 g butter. Fit the dough into the pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden. Let the crust cool for 30 minutes. 3. Bring the milk to a boil. Beat the eggs with the sugar until it dissolves, mix in the flour, then pour the mixture into the hot milk, stirring vigorously. Cook the cream for 10 minutes, stirring, until it thickens to the consistency of sour cream. 4. Take the cream off the heat, add the vanilla extract and butter, then stir until the butter melts. Let it cool for 30 minutes. 5. Spread the cream over the cooled crust. Peel the mangoes, slice them and arrange the slices on top. 6. Make the tart glaze with 250 ml water, following the packet instructions. Pour it over the fruit and leave the tart for 30 minutes, until set.
Notes
A slice goes well with a cup of black tea. I make it a few hours before serving, so it’s cold when I cut it. Covered, it keeps in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, but the crust gradually softens from the cream. Choose ripe but still firm mangoes, so the slices hold their shape. If the fruit is small, arrange the slices closer together over the cream, without leaving large gaps. A 26 cm pan makes a thin crust; in a smaller one, the dough will be thicker and may need a few minutes longer to bake. I don’t rush the cooling of the cream: if it’s warm, the mango slices can slide across the surface. You can use other fruit too, such as kiwi or strawberries. The dough contains gluten, and the cream contains dairy and eggs.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use canned mango?
Yes, use 300 g well-drained mango and pat the slices with paper towels before placing them over the cream.
What should I do if the cream is lumpy?
Pass the cream through a fine-mesh sieve while it’s hot, then whisk it for one minute.
Can I replace some of the white flour?
Replace no more than 50 g of the 250 g with whole wheat flour, so the dough doesn’t turn out too dense.
Why does the dough break when I roll it out?
Leave it at room temperature for 5 minutes and try again; very cold dough can crack when rolled out.
What should I do if the cream is still too runny?
Put it back on the heat and cook it for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until it thickens.
