Crust Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, shredded coconut, sugar, and salt. Stir in the melted unsalted butter until mixed well. Press this mixture firmly into a 9-inch tart pan to create an even layer. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the crust turns golden and fragrant. Once done, let the crust cool completely on a wire rack.
Mango Purée
- While the crust cools, prepare the smooth mango purée. Take ripe fresh mangoes and cut them into chunks. Blend the pieces in a blender until perfectly smooth, then strain the purée through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove any fibers or lumps.
Curd Cooking
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the mango purée, large egg yolks, granulated sugar, and fresh lime juice. Place over medium-low heat and whisk constantly for about 8-10 minutes until it thickens. Once it reaches this consistency, remove from heat and whisk in lime zest and cold butter until smooth.
Assembly
- Once the mango curd is prepared and still warm, pour it into the cooled coconut crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Cover the tart with plastic wrap, pressing it onto the curd to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
Garnish and Serve
- Before serving, remove the tart from the fridge. Garnish with fresh mango cubes and mint leaves. Optionally add a dollop of whipped cream. Slice, serve, and enjoy!

Notes
Ensure to use perfectly ripe mangoes for the best flavor. Chill the tart for at least 4 hours to ensure proper setting.
