My mango trees are fruiting again and they are very sweet. We've been enjoying the fruits raw and sharing them with relatives. I thought mango tart will be something interesting to try for the last batch before they are all gone.
I went to sleep after preparing the tart case & filling but woke up when my hubby returned from dinner. The moment I woke up I straight away remembered that I have not yet assemble the tart. So the above is a midnight job - assembling and photo taking/editing. My second son was still doing his homework so he had a piece and gave a thumb up although I think the cream filling is a bit too sweet. If you are going to use sweet mango, reduce the sugar in the cream a bit.
I'll update the recipe later since it is almost one o'clock in the morning. Night-night everyone!
ok, here comes the update on the recipe....
