Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2–3 tbsp cold water
  • 1 cup mango purée (from fresh or frozen mango)
  • 1/4 cup passionfruit pulp (fresh or canned, strained for seeds)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: whipped cream or mint for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease tartlet pans.
  2. In a food processor, pulse the flour and powdered sugar. Add the cubed butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Add the egg yolk and cold water, a tablespoon at a time, pulsing until the dough comes together.
  4. Form dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for 30 minutes.
  5. Roll out the chilled dough and press into tartlet pans. Prick the bottom with a fork.
  6. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until lightly golden. Let cool completely.
  7. For the filling, whisk mango purée, passionfruit pulp, sugar, egg yolks, cornstarch, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat.
  8. Cook while whisking until thickened (5-8 minutes). Remove from heat and whisk in butter until smooth.
  9. Let the curd cool slightly, then fill the cooled tart shells.
  10. Chill the tartlets for at least 1 hour before serving.
  11. Garnish with whipped cream or mint if desired.

Notes

  • You can make the tart shells a day ahead and store them in an airtight container.
  • Use canned mango and passionfruit if fresh is unavailable.
  • Add a splash of lime juice for extra zing in the curd.
