Lime Mango Tart

Claire Bartholic

Ingredients
  

For the tart shell:

  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tablespoon ground flax seed

For the filling:

  • 1 can coconut cream or full fat coconut milk
  • 2-3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup raw cashews optional, but delicious
  • 1/4 cup lime juice or more to taste
  • 1/4 cup almond milk
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 3-4 ripe mangos

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350F. Add all tart shell ingredients to a food processor and pulse until you get coarse crumbs that clump together when squeezed in your hand.
  • Press dough into a greased 11" tart pan with a removable bottom or pie pan. Make sure dough is even all around and up the sides.
  • Bake until lightly golden and cookie-like, about 15 minutes.
  • Cool completely, at least an hour.
  • To prepare the filling, place coconut cream, maple syrup, vanilla, and cashews in a high speed blender and blend until smooth. (If you do not have a high speed blender, you'll want to boil the cashews in just enough water to cover them for ten minutes, drain the water, then add to the blender.)
  • Pour the mixture into a saucepan and bring to a simmer, stirring frequently.
  • Meanwhile, mix almond milk and cornstarch in a container until dissolved.
  • Once at a simmer, add lime juice, then slowly pour in cornstarch mix.
  • Stir until thickened.
  • Pour into cooled tart shell and refrigerate one hour.
  • Meanwhile, slice your mangos. Peel with a vegetable peeler and slice into two halves around the flat seed. Then slice longways into thin strips.
  • Arrange sliced mangos in a rose pattern by using the longest slices first along the outside of the tart, working in a circular pattern until you reach the center.
  • Keep at room temperature or refrigerate until ready to serve.
