Mango tart (Tarte à la mangue) is very much a Saint Barthélemy dessert speciality. In fact there are three main types of tart produced on the island: a pastry shell filled decoratively with slices of fresh mango; a pastry shell filled with a mango purée custard and a pastry shell with Crème Patissière (pastry cream) on the base that's topped with mango custard.

This is the first of the three pie types using fresh mango. I also have the recipe for the pastry cream and mango custard layers type and the pastry cream and fresh mango slices type.

Ingredients:

1 batch Pâte Brisée

For the Filling:
1 medium mango, peeled and cubed
4 large egg yolks
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon grated orange zest

Method:

Prepare the Pâte Brisée then chill in the refrigerator. Whilst the pastry is chilling, pre-heat your oven to 160C and prepare the filling.

Process mango in a food processor until pureed. Set aside 3/4 cup (save remainder for another use). In a large bowl, beat egg yolks until thick and lemon-colorued, about 5 minutes. Add sweetened condensed milk, mango puree, lemon juice and orange zest; beat 2 minutes longer.

Roll out the crust and use to line the base and sides of a tart or flan dish. Pour in the filling then transfer to your pre-heated oven and bake until the centre of the tart is just set (about 20-25 minutes). Remove from the oven and set aside to cool completely then transfer to your refrigerator and keep there until chilled.

If desired, you can garnish with diced mango before serving.
