Baking Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour and 5 minutes
Servings: 8 servings

Ingredients

For the Crust:
- 3 eggs
- 3 tablespoons of sugar
- 1 tablespoon of oil
- 3 tablespoons of flour
- a pinch of salt
- grated zest of one lemon

For the Coconut Cream:
- 2 packets of coconut pudding
- 6 tablespoons of sugar
- 750 ml of milk
- 200 ml of heavy cream
- 3 egg yolks
- a pinch of salt

For the Mango Jelly:
- 1 can of mango (420 g)
- 1 packet of gelatin
- 1 tablespoon of sugar (optional, depending on desired sweetness)
- coconut flakes for decoration

Step by Step

1. Preparing the Crust:
Start by separating the egg whites from the yolks. Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form. Gradually add the sugar, continuing to mix until you achieve a consistency similar to thick cream. This step is crucial, as the air incorporated into the egg whites will make the crust fluffy and light.

Add the yolks, lemon zest, and oil, gently mixing to combine. Sifting the flour over the mixture and folding it in with a spatula should be done delicately to avoid losing the air in the egg whites.

Grease a tart pan with butter and dust it with flour. Pour the mixture into the pan and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (medium temperature) for 25 minutes. Once the crust is done, invert it onto a wire rack and let it cool completely.

2. Preparing the Mango Jelly:
In a bowl, drain 50 ml of juice from the mango can and use it to hydrate the gelatin. In a saucepan, combine the mango pieces with the remaining juice and, if desired, add 1 tablespoon of sugar. Heat the mixture until it starts to boil, stirring constantly.

Once the mixture is hot, take a spoonful of the hot juice and add it to the hydrated gelatin, stirring quickly. Then, pour the gelatin into the hot mango mixture and mix well. Allow the jelly to cool to room temperature, then pour it over the cooled tart crust. Refrigerate the tart until the jelly sets.

3. Preparing the Coconut Cream:
In a bowl, mix the egg yolks with a pinch of salt and sugar. Add the pudding powder and gradually add warm milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Place the mixture over medium heat, stirring continuously until the cream thickens. This process is essential for the final consistency of the cream.

Once the cream has thickened, remove it from the heat and let it cool, stirring frequently to prevent a crust from forming. After it has completely cooled, fold in the whipped heavy cream gently using a spatula.

4. Assembling the Tart:
Once the jelly has set, spread the coconut cream on top. Sprinkle coconut flakes over the entire surface for a festive look and to enhance the flavor. Return the tart to the refrigerator until serving time.

Practical Tip
To achieve a more flavorful crust, you can add a few drops of vanilla extract or a teaspoon of almond essence. You can also substitute mango with other seasonal fruits, such as peaches or strawberries, to vary the dessert according to your preferences.

Each serving of tart has approximately 250-300 calories, depending on the specific ingredients used.
