Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures the tart crust bakes evenly.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine crushed biscuits or graham crackers with melted butter and sugar.
  3. Press the mixture into a tart pan to form a crust.
  4. Bake the crust for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are barely golden.
  5. While the crust cools, blend ripe mango until smooth to make the mango purée.
  6. In a saucepan, whisk together the mango purée, sugar, lemon juice, and eggs over low heat.
  7. Cook, stirring constantly for about 8-10 minutes until the mixture thickens.
  8. Remove from heat and stir in the butter until melted and blended.
  9. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl for a smoother texture.
  10. Pour the warm mango curd into the cooled tart crust and spread evenly.
  11. Cover and refrigerate for 3-4 hours to allow the curd to set completely.
  12. Remove from fridge, slice, and serve chilled with garnishes if desired.

Notes

Ensure constant whisking to avoid curdling. Straining the curd before pouring elevates the tart's texture.
