Mango And Lime Tart BrÛlÉe Recipes

MANGO-KEY LIME TART

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Finely grind crackers with sugar in a food processor (you should have about 1 1/4 cups). Add butter and pulse until combined. Transfer mixture to a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom; press into bottom and up sides. Place pan on a baking sheet and bake until crust is fragrant and slightly darker, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack; let cool completely.
• Meanwhile, puree mangoes in food processor and strain through a coarse sieve. In a bowl, whisk together 1 1/4 cups strained mango puree, condensed milk, lime zest and juice, yolks, and salt. Pour into crust. Bake until filling is set around edges but still slightly loose in center, about 25 minutes.
• Let tart cool on a wire rack 1 hour; then refrigerate until chilled, at least 2 hours and up to overnight. Serve, with whipped cream and diced mango on the side.

MANGO BRULEE WITH LIME

Steps:

• Heat broiler to high with rack 6 inches from heat source. Scatter 1 tablespoon sugar evenly over cut side of each mango half. Immediately broil on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet until mangoes are softened and sugar is hardened and golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Serve warm with lime wedges.

MANGO TART WITH TEQUILA-LIME GLAZE

Steps:

• For the lime shortbread crust: Position an oven rack in the top third of the oven. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Add the flour, granulated sugar and salt to a food processor and pulse 2 to 3 times to combine. Add the cold butter cubes and pulse until the butter breaks down into small, uniform-size pieces, about the size of small pebbles. Add the lime zest and egg yolks and process a few more seconds or until the mixture looks like wet sand; the dough will not come together into a ball.
• Spray a 9-inch nonstick tart pan lightly with cooking spray, making sure to spray the sides of the pan as well as the bottom. Pour the dough into the tart pan and spread evenly. Using your hands, press the dough into the bottom and up the sides of the pan. To prevent any dough from falling out of the pan, place your left thumb over the top of the pan along the crust and press the dough up the sides with your right pointer finger. This way, you will tightly pack the dough along the sides with your pointer finger and stop it at the top of the pan with your left thumb. Continue to press the dough into the pan and along the sides until it is tightly packed and evenly distributed. Poke the bottom of the crust with a fork all over and then place the tart pan on a baking sheet.
• Bake until the sides of the crust are a deep golden brown and the crust bottom is light golden brown on top, about 25 minutes. Let cool completely.
• For the mango filling: Add the mango and lime juice to a blender and puree on high speed for 1 minute until completely smooth. Hold in the blender.
• In a small bowl, mix together the gelatin and 1/2 cup of the coconut milk. Let stand 5 minutes. As the gelatin rehydrates, the coconut milk will begin to look curdled; don't worry--it isn't.
• Set a medium saucepan over medium heat and add the granulated sugar, salt and remaining coconut milk (about 1 1/4 cups). Stir the mixture together and bring to a simmer. Continue to simmer until the sugar melts completely; the coconut milk will become opaque. Remove from the heat and immediately whisk in the gelatin mixture. until completely melted. Strain the mango mixture into the coconut milk mixture and whisk again to combine. Let the mixture cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes.
• Using a hand mixer, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Fold the whipped cream into the mango filling and then pour the entire filling into the cooled tart crust; the filling will come to the very top of the crust. Refrigerate for 2 hours to set the filling completely. You can make the tart up to this point 1 day in advance.
• For the tequila-lime glaze: Line a baking sheet with a cooling rack. Cut the 2 larger sides of the mango off of the pit, followed by the 2 smaller sides. Peel the 4 pieces of mango, then cut them into 1/4-inch half-moon slices.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the confectioner' sugar, tequila and lime juice. Dip each slice of mango into the glaze and coat completely. Let drip dry over the bowl for a few seconds, then lay the mango pieces on the cooling rack for at least 15 minutes for the glaze to set.
• When ready to serve, remove the tart from the tart pan and place on a cake stand. Lay the mango slices in a circle around the tart, setting aside the smallest slice for later; the mango slices will meet in the center of the tart and then fan out overlapping each other around the tart. Roll the reserved mango slice into a rosette and place in the center of the tart. Garnish with the lime zest and serve immediately.

MANGO CREME BRULEE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees farenheit.
• Whisk together egg yolks, granulated sugar, and salt in a bowl until combined well.
• Place this custard mixture into a 2qt saucepan.
• Using the tip of a knife, scrape seeds from vanilla bean into cream, then add pod.
• Heat over moderate heat until hot but not boiling.
• Discard pod and add cream to egg mixture in a slow stream, whisking until combined.
• Spoon 1/4 c mango into each ramekin.
• Pour custard through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl, then ladle over mango.
• Arrange ramekins in a roasting pan and bake in a hot water bath in middle of the oven until custards are just set, 35 to 40 minutes.
• Transfer custards with tongs to a rack to cool, then chill, uncovered, at least 4 hours.
• Preheat broiler.
• Sprinkle turbinado sugar evenly over custards and broil in a shallow baking pan (5 to 7 inches from the heat) until sugar is caramelized, about 2 to 3 minutes.
• *Note* A blowtorch can be used to caramelize the sugar topping instead of the broiler.

CARAMELISED PASSION FRUIT & LIME TART

Steps:

• Roll out the pastry and use it to line a 23cm tart ring, then chill for at least 20 mins. Heat oven to 180C/fan160C/gas 4. Line the tart with baking parchment and baking beans, then bake for 15 mins. Remove the parchment, bake for a further 5-10 mins until golden, then remove from the oven and reduce the temperature to 140C/fan 120C/gas 1.
• While the case is cooking, cut the passion fruits in half, scoop out the flesh into a bowl, then blitz with a hand blender. Push the pulp through sieve and mix the juice with the lime zest and juice. Beat the sugar and yolks together until pale, then beat in the cream and fruit juice. Carefully pour the custard into the tart case, then bake for 40 mins, until set with a very slight wobble. Remove the tart from the oven, then leave to cool completely.
• You can now either serve the tart as it is, or try a chef's tip and dust it with icing sugar, then caramelise the top with a blowtorch.

MANGO AND LIME TART BRÛLÉE

Steps:

• To make the dough, put the flour and salt into a bowl, then put the butter cubes in the middle. Using your fingertips, rub the butter lightly into the flour until the dough looks like bread crumbs. Stir in the sugar and enough cold water for form a soft but not sticky dough. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes. Roll out the dough to fit the pan, drape it over a rolling pin, then drape the pin over the tart pan. Press the dough into the corners, then roll the pin over the top to trim off the excess. Prick a few holes in the base, then line with parchment paper and fill with baking beans or small weights to prevent the dough from rising. Bake in a preheated oven at 350? for 10 minutes (this is called blind baking). Gently remove the baking beans and parchment, then return to the oven to cook for a further 10 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool. Put the sugar, eggs, and cream in a bowl and beat with electric beaters. Stir in the mango, lime juice, and zest. Pour into the pie crust and bake for 30 minutes or until the tart is just starting to set. Remove from the oven and let cool. Sprinkle brown sugar over the top and either put the tart under a preheated broiler or use a cook's blowtorch to melt the sugar until it is molten and bubbling. Serve with whipped cream or creme fraiche.
