Mango Cream Tart
A Hong Kong-style bakery tart with a short, buttery pastry shell holding a silky cream cheese and whipped cream filling, finished with fresh diced mango for a bright, tropical top note. The contrast between crisp pastry, cool cream and juicy fruit makes this a popular Cantonese dessert-counter staple.

Instructions
1
Rub cold cubed butter into sifted flour and sugar until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs, then bind with the beaten egg yolk and a teaspoon of ice water into a smooth dough.
2
Wrap the dough and chill for 20 minutes, then roll out thinly and line two 8cm individual tart tins, pressing into the base and fluted sides and trimming excess.
3
Prick the bases with a fork, chill for 10 minutes, then blind bake at 180°C for 12-14 minutes until pale golden; cool completely on a wire rack.
4
Beat the softened cream cheese with condensed milk until smooth, then fold in the softly whipped cream to make a light mango-cream filling base.
5
Toss the diced mango with lemon juice to keep its colour bright, then fold three-quarters of it into the cream cheese mixture.
6
Spoon the mango cream into the cooled tart shells, smoothing the tops, then arrange the remaining mango pieces over the surface.
7
Chill the filled tarts for 30 minutes to firm the cream, then garnish each with a small mint leaf just before serving.
