Servings
12 tartlets
Ingredients
  • 1 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup Powdered sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 Egg yolk
  • 1 cup Coconut cream
  • 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 2 Fresh mango, diced

Making the Shortbread Crust

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, powdered sugar, and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Beat egg yolk and add it to the flour mixture, mixing until a dough forms. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes.

Prebaking the Tartlet Shells

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8 inch thickness. Cut out circles using a cookie cutter slightly larger than the tartlet molds. Press the dough circles into mini tartlet molds. Prick the bottom of each tartlet shell with a fork. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool completely in the molds before removing.

Making the Coconut Cream Filling

In a saucepan, whisk together the coconut cream, granulated sugar, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a simmer. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let cool slightly.

Assembling the Tartlets

Pour the coconut cream filling into the cooled tartlet shells. Top with diced fresh mango. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.
