Ingredients

FOR THE CRUST:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1/3 cup almond flour can substitute with additional all purpose flour if desired
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut optional
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt

FOR THE FILLING:

  • 2 medium ripe peaches
  • 1 large ripe mango you can also substitute with mango puree
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 3 TB lime juice
  • 4 TB butter
  • 2 tsp powdered gelatin
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar

GARNISH

  • Additional fruit as desired I used strawberries, raspberries, 1 peach, and 1/2 of a mango.
  • Fresh whipped cream if desired 1 cup heavy cream + 1/3 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

FOR THE CRUST:

  • Preheat oven to 350° F. Whisk all of the dry ingredients together. Add softened butter and using a fork, pastry cutter, or food processor, combine until it fully comes together with no dry flour remaining.
  • Press into a tart pan and press holes in the bottom of the crust using a fork. (A small baking pan or pie dish will also work if you do not have a tart pan.)
  • Bake for about 8 minutes, until lightly golden brown.

FOR THE FILLING:

  • Bloom a portion of your gelatin by adding 2 tsp gelatin to a bowl of 1/4 cup water. No need to stir. Just set aside and wait for it to become a gel consistency.
  • Meanwhile, remove skins and pits from the peaches and mango. Put fruit in a blender or food processor and blend together until fully combined and smooth. It should yield about 1 1/4 cup of puree (about 400 grams).
    (When fruit is not in season, feel free to substitute with unsweetened fruit puree, found at many specialty food stores.)
  • In a medium pot over the stove, combine the fruit puree, eggs, sugar, and lime juice together on medium heat. Mix together continuously (so the eggs don't scramble) for about 5-8 minutes until it thickens.
  • Remove from stove and add the butter and prepared bloomed gelatin. Whisk together until combined and smooth. Pour through a strainer into a large bowl. Set aside to cool completely. You can also place in refrigerator to speed up the cooling.
  • Using a hand or stand mixer, beat 1 cup heavy whipping cream with 1/4 cup powdered sugar. Beat on medium until stiff peaks form.
  • Add about 1/3 of the whipped cream to the cooled fruit custard and mix together until smooth. This will lighten the custard, making it easier to combine with the rest of the whipped cream. It's okay if you stir this vigorously. Then add the rest of the cream and gently fold together until completely combined.
  • Pour filling into your baked crust. Place in refrigerator and let it sit for at least 4 hours, or overnight. Top with additional fruit and fresh whipped cream as desired just before serving.
  • Whipped Cream: To add fresh whipped cream, combine heavy cream and powdered sugar together. Using and hand or stand mixer, beat until stiff peaks form. Pipe or place dollops on slices.

Notes

Tips:
  • Keep stored in refrigerator until serving. Will keep fresh for about 5 days after making. 
  • For a frozen treat, you can even place this tart in the freezer! Just let it sit out for about 10-15 minutes before serving to soften slightly.
  • You can find powdered gelatin in the Jell-O section at most grocery stores.
