Mango and Lemon Curd Tart
A wonderful way to enjoy the
delicious taste of lemon curd.
Ingredients:
1
150g pkg square frozen puff pastry, thawed
3
tbsp lemon curd
2
mangoes, peeled, stoned and sliced lengthways
1
tbsp toasted, unsweetened flaked coconut, to garnish
Preparation:
- Preheat oven to 400°F, and lightly grease a
baking sheet.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll pastry into
8x10 inch rectangle, trimming edges with a sharp knife. Transfer
to the baking sheet, and prick lightly with a fork.
- Spread lemon curd over the pastry, leaving a 1-inch
border. Arrange mango slices in overlapping rows to cover the
lemon curd, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
- Using your fingers or a flat edge of a knife, push
pastry edges up to form a slight rim.
- Scatter coconut over top.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, until pastry is golden
on the egdes and cooked through the underneath.
- Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm or cold.

Tip: Choose ripe mangoes that are not too soft, to prevent
the pastry base from getting soggy.
