Week 11 was Coconut Mango Cream tart. Since tarts are so similar to pies, and because I love them, I have included a few in this pie club. This tart was beautiful, and delicious, but I forgot to get even one picture of it! Let me just say here that I have been on many food blogs and seen a lot of beautiful pictures of food, and I am no food photographer. Forgetting to get a picture of the tart just further proves it. Haha!
Anyway, the base of this tart is where I used the coconut. I do not enjoy mangoes because I taste an anise note in it, but a lot of people do enjoy them and they make a nice pairing with coconut. The base was basically a baked custard with toasted coconut in it. The filling was light, creamy and a perfect compliment to the flaky tart crust.
I peeled the mango, then thinly sliced it and brushed the slices with lemon juice. I topped custard base with sweetened, fresh whipped cream swirls and nestled the mango slices in with the whipped cream swirls. The colors were beautiful, and everyone who ordered this tart had great feedback about it.
I would definitely make this tart again!
