Is there anything better than Philippine Mangoes? Admittedly, in my travels, I have not tasted anything that can compare to the mangoes we have here in our own country. This recipe is another way to enjoy mangoes in a delectable dessert you can make right at home with prepared puff pastry dough that makes baking so much easier!
| Ingredients: |
| 250 grams puff pastry 4 ripe mangoes (or Frozen Mangoes 20% Off for a limited time!) Lemon zest 50 grams butter 50 grams sugar 100 ml vanilla ice cream |
| Directions: |
Prepare the mangoes.It is best to choose mangoes that are sweet but are not yet over ripe so they hold their shape better in the baking process. Slice off the fleshy part of the mango on both sides of the core. To make slices easily, hold mango halves with skin on and score vertically from top to bottom with a knife (being careful not to slice through the skin), and scoop them out with a spoon. |
Melt butter in pan, add sugar and the mango slices. Let caramelize for around 5 minutes on low heat. |
Put the mangoes carefully inside each tartlet mold, and cover with the puff pastry. Use a spoon to tuck in the edges of the puff pastry inside the mold, being careful not to touch the caramel. |
Cook in the oven for about 10 minutes in preheated oven at 210°C ( 410 °F). Reduce the heat to 170°C (330°F) for 25 to 20 more mins. Check regularly. |
Take out of the oven and let cool for 1 to 2 mns. Flip the tarts on plates. And decorate with lemon zest and a spoon of vanilla ice cream. |
