Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 1.5 cups Graham Cracker Crumbs opt for gluten-free crumbs if needed
  • 0.5 cups Unsweetened Shredded Coconut
  • 0.25 cups Granulated Sugar
  • 0.5 cups Unsalted Butter cold and cubed
  • 0.125 teaspoons Fine Salt
For the Mango Curd
  • 1.25 cups Smooth Mango Purée strained from ripe mangoes
  • 4 large Egg Yolks
  • 0.25 cups Fresh Lime Juice substitute with lemon if desired
  • 1 teaspoons Lime Zest
  • 0.125 teaspoons Sea Salt
For Serving (Optional)
  • 1 cup Fresh Mango Cubes for garnish
  • 1 cups Whipped Cream for topping
  • Fresh Mint Leaves for garnish

Equipment

  • 9-inch tart pan
  • Blender
  • Medium saucepan

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, unsweetened shredded coconut, granulated sugar, and fine salt. Melt unsalted butter and mix it into the crumb mixture until it resembles wet sand. Press firmly into a 9-inch tart pan. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown. Let cool completely.
  2. While the crust cools, peel ripe mangoes and cut the flesh away from the pit. Blend mango chunks until smooth, straining through a fine-mesh sieve into a measuring cup to remove fibers. You should have about 1¼ cups of purée ready.
  3. In a medium saucepan, whisk together mango purée, egg yolks, granulated sugar, and lime juice. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly for 8-10 minutes until thickened. Avoid boiling to prevent curdling.
  4. Off heat, stir in lime zest and a pinch of sea salt. Gradually incorporate cold, cubed butter, whisking continuously until fully melted and the curd is smooth and glossy.
  5. Pour the mango curd into the cooled crust, spreading evenly. Cover with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
  6. To serve, remove tart from the pan and garnish with fresh mango cubes and mint leaves. Add whipped cream if desired. Slice and enjoy!
