Instructions
- In a food processor, combine the flour, butter, sugar, and salt. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add 2-3 tablespoons of cold water and pulse until the dough comes together.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and shape it into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a circle slightly larger than your tart pan. Transfer the dough to the tart pan and press it into the bottom and sides. Trim any excess dough.
- In a blender or food processor, puree 2 mangoes until smooth. Add lemon juice and cornstarch and blend again until well combined.
- Pour the mango mixture into the tart shell and spread it evenly.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
- Slice the remaining mango into thin slices and arrange them on top of the tart.
- Serve the mango tart chilled, topped with whipped cream and fresh mint leaves.
Tips
- For a more tropical flavor, you can add a bit of shredded coconut to the crust.
- Make sure to use ripe mangoes for the best flavor.
