Summer in India is not complete without a mango treat. After all, Mangoes are the king of all fruits and we are so fortunate to get them fresh in the market. And that too in a large variety!

From raw mangoes to absolutely ripe fruit, we enjoy mangoes as long as it is in season. You can make many recipes out of it and the options are endless. Frankly, I could not resist myself to make one or two out of the mangoes. Today I bring to you, a lovely mango tart recipe for you to make and enjoy. I hope you like it.

For the Tart Crust Shell::

Ingredients::

• 2 Cups all-purpose flour.
• 2 tsp of butter
• Salt and Sugar as per taste
• Water to knead a tight dough

Process::

Mix all the ingredients and knead a tight dough. Refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour. Then roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface to a 12-inch circle. Place it on a tart tin or a microwavable dish resembling a tart tin. Shape the dough along the edges of the tin and cut out the excess dough. Prick the base all over with a fork, then place in the freezer for 30 minutes. Pre-heat the oven or microwave for 10 minutes. Line the chilled pastry crust loosely with parchment paper, and fill almost to the top with uncooked pulses. Make sure they’re fully distributed over the entire surface. Place the tin on a baking tray and bake for 20 minutes, then remove the paper and pulses. Your crust is ready.

For filling the Crust::

Ingredients:

• 2 cups milk
• 2 tsp custard powder
• 1 tsp of vanilla essence
• Sugar as per taste

Process::

In a pan, heat the milk to a boil. In a separate small bowl with the custard powder with some milk. Put the mixture on the pan and also add the sugar into it. Stir continuously until you get a smooth creamy like consistency. Also add the vanilla essence here. Cool the mixture and fill it on a cooled tart crust.

Process:

On a cutting board, cut a half-inch (1 cm) off the bottom and top off the mango to give it a flat base. Standing it upright, make exterior slices from the top to bottom to take the skin off. Remove the meat from the sides and thinly slice. Starting from the outer edge, place mango slices in a circular pattern, making full rotations to the center. Place a cherry in the middle to complete the flower pattern.

Refrigerate for an hour and enjoy with your loved ones.
