Ingredients
Crust
- 200 g biscoff cookies (about 24 cookies)
- 100 g unsalted butter (melted)
- 30 g shredded coconut
Filling
- 450 g mango chunks (about 2 medium mangoes)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz / 300 mL)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Juice of 1 lime
Toppings
- 150 g whipping cream (cold)
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ripe mango (halved lengthwise and thinly sliced)
- Lime zest (for garnish)
Instructions
- Crush biscoff: Place biscoff cookies in a Ziploc bag and crush them finely using a rolling pin. Pour the crumbs into a small bowl.
- Mix crumb mixture: Add shredded coconut and melted butter to the crushed biscoff crumbs. Stir well until the crumbs are saturated and have a wet sand consistency.
- Press crust into pan: Transfer the crumb mixture to a 9″ fluted tart pan with a removable bottom. Evenly spread the mixture and firmly press it into the bottom and up the sides, ensuring it fills all grooves. Adjust as necessary by adding or removing crumbs.
- Chill crust: Place the crust in the fridge to chill while you prepare the filling.
- Preheat oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to warm up for baking the tart.
- Blend mangoes: Place mango chunks into a blender and puree until smooth. Set aside the mango puree.
- Whisk filling ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk eggs briefly to combine. Add the mango puree, sweetened condensed milk, salt, and lime juice. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
- Fill crust: Pour the mango filling into the prepared tart crust and smooth the surface with a spatula.
- Bake tart: Place the tart pan on a baking tray to catch any overflow. Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes until the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly. Remove and cool completely on a wire rack, then refrigerate overnight to chill.
- Prepare whipped cream: In a medium bowl, combine cold whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat on low to medium speed with an electric mixer or whisk until stiff peaks form. Transfer the whipped cream to a piping bag fitted with your preferred tip.
- Unmold tart: Remove the outer ring of the tart pan by placing it on a small cup and gently pulling the ring downwards. Slide an offset spatula under the tart to release the bottom and transfer the tart to a serving plate.
- Arrange mango slices: Fan the thin mango slices on top of the tart in a decorative wavy pattern.
- Pipe whipped cream: Pipe whipped cream squiggles into spaces around the mango slices. Finish the tart by sprinkling lime zest evenly over the top.
Notes
- For best results, chill the tart overnight before serving to allow the filling to set completely.
- You can substitute the biscoff cookies with graham crackers if biscoff is unavailable.
- Use ripe but firm mangoes for the best flavor and texture.
- Make sure the whipping cream is cold for easier whipping.
- Carefully remove the tart ring to maintain the shape of the tart.
- The tart is best served chilled and within 2 days of preparation.
