Mango Tarts

As summer approaches, the sweet refreshing mango is eaten on its own, in desserts and in juice. The slightly tangy note in mangoes makes it so addictive and delicious! It also makes it great to be featured in desserts especially in my iconic recipe that I'm sharing here.

The buttery, crumbly pastry case with the sweet, creamy mascarpone cream and finally topped with the sweet juicy mango creates one HEAVENLY dessert!

Mango Tarts
Ingredients
Tart shell

• 125 g unsalted butter
• 55 g caster sugar
• 1 large egg
• 225 g plain flour
• 100 g dark chocolate (optional)

Mascarpone filling

• 250 g mascarpone cheese
• 190 ml natural yoghurt
• 2 1/2 tablespoons of icing sugar

Mango

• 2 medium mangoes

Method

1. Preheat oven at 180° C (160° C fan - forced)
2. Beat the butter and sugar together until they are combined
3. Add the egg and continue to beat the mixture. (Note: the mixture may split at this point but once the flour is added the mixture will come together)
4. Sieve half the flour into the mixture and beat on a slow speed until the mixture is just combined.
5. Sieve the remaining half of the flour and use your hands to bring the dough together. The dough should not be sticky. If it is, add a little bit of flour until it is no longer sticky.
6. Push dough into tart cases until it is 3 mm thick.
   
7. Bake tart shells for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove the tart shell from the tart case.
8. Melt the chocolate in the microwave once the tart shells have completely cooled down.
9. Spread a thin layer of chocolate over the inside of the tart shells. Allow the chocolate to set. (Note: if the environment that the tarts are in, place them in the fridge so the chocolate can set)
10. Beat mascarpone, natural yoghurt and icing sugar together for a minute or until well combined.
11. Pipe equal amounts of the mascarpone mixture into the tart shells.
12. Peel the skin from the mangoes. Remove the seeds.
13. Cut the mango into thin slices.
14. Curl the mango slice to make the centre of the rose and push gently into the middle of the mascarpone mixture.
15. Curve the rest of the mango slices around the centre to create a rose.
16. Enjoy the delicious tarts!
