A Royal Affair: The Magnificent Mango Tart

Meet the King of Fruits—Mango. Nothing can beat its delightfully sweet and refreshing taste. It’s why I was tempted to whip up a delicious tart to celebrate the changing season. One of the perks of living in Dubai is off-season fruits. I also love getting fresh fruits and purees anytime I want. It gives me more scope for experimentation and makes it easier to incorporate innovative elements to add healthy twists to traditional recipes. For instance, this mouthwatering mango tart brims with the nutritious goodness of all-vegan ingredients. I carefully tweaked the recipe to balance flavors and textures that match your dietary plans. What’s inside this tasty treat? Ingredients: Crust: • 1 cup gluten-free oat flour • 1 cup almond flour • 2-3 tbsp maple syrup • ¼ cup coconut oil • ¼ tsp salt Filling: • 2 cups mango puree • 1/4 cup lemon juice • 1/4 cup maple syrup • 1 cup full fat coconut milk • 1 tsp agar-agar powder Method: 1. Prep your tart tin by greasing it with cooking oil. 2. Preheat your oven to 180 ºC. 3. Chuck the ingredients for the crust in the food processor. Pulse till the blended mixture reaches a moist moldable texture. 4. Carefully assemble the crust in the tart tin. Press the mixture well to maintain an even consistency. 5. Bake for 15 mins (or till the crust turns golden brown) 6. Let the crust cool in the tart tin before placing it on a wire rack to reach room temperature. 7. Prepare the fruit filling by adding its ingredients to a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil while stirring it slowly. 8. Continue whisking for 30 more seconds and then turn off the stove. 9. Pour your filling into the crust. 10. Refrigerate to let the tart set. (Minimum 4 hrs)
