MANGO TART RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375˚F (190˚C).
• In a large bowl, beat the egg.
• Add the butter and sugar, and mix.
• Add the flour and mix until combined. The dough will be crumbly in your hand.
• Transfer the crust mixture into a greased 8-inch (20 cm) tart pan one handful at a time, pressing it down to create an even, thin layer over the entire pan, about ¼ inch (6 mm).
• NOTE: Freeze and save remaining pie crust crumble for later.
• Prick the crust with a fork to prevent it from puffing up in the oven.
• Bake the crust for 30-40 minutes, or until golden brown.
• 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.
• In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, Greek yogurt, orange zest, sugar, orange juice, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly.
• Transfer the yogurt mixture to the cooled tart crust.
• Starting from the outer edge, place mango slices in a circular pattern, making full rotations all the way to the center.
• Chill the fruit tart for at least an hour.
• Enjoy!

MANGO TART WITH COCONUT CRUST

Steps:

• Toast coconut for crust:
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Spread coconut in an even layer in a pie plate and toast in middle of oven, stirring occasionally, until golden, 10 to 12 minutes. (Leave oven on for baking crust.) Cool coconut to room temperature, about 10 minutes.

Remove bowl from heat and stir in remaining purée.
