Ingredients
1 ¼ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup powdered sugar
½ cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
1 egg yolk
Pinch of salt
1 cup fresh mango puree (strained)
½ cup sugar
3 egg yolks
2 tablespoons lemon juice
¼ cup unsalted butter (cubed)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional for thicker curd)
Instructions
1. Combine flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in butter until crumbly. Add yolk and form dough. Chill 30 minutes.

3. In a saucepan, whisk mango puree, sugar, yolks, and lemon juice over medium-low heat until thickened (~8–10 mins).
4. Remove from heat. Stir in cubed butter until smooth and glossy.
5. (Optional) Strain curd through fine mesh for ultra-smooth finish.

Notes
Use ripe mangoes like Ataulfo or Alphonso for the best flavor.
Strain mango puree for silky smooth curd.
Chill tart overnight for firmer slices and deeper flavor.
