Ingredients
Scale
- 1¾ cups all-purpose flour (210 grams)
- 7 tablespoons powdered sugar (56 grams)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 10 tablespoons butter (cold, cut into pieces; 140 grams)
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 teaspoons heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2½ teaspoons unflavored gelatin powder (7 grams)
- ¼ cup cold water
- 12 tablespoons butter (softened)
- 1½ cups granulated sugar
- 10 egg yolks
- 1 cup mango puree (store bought or homemade)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- ½ cup raspberry jam
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine flour, powdered sugar, and salt. Add cold butter, mixing until crumbly. Stir in egg yolk, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until well combined. Press into a greased 9×13 inch baking pan and bake for 15 minutes until golden.
- For the filling, bloom gelatin in cold water for 5 minutes. Beat softened butter and sugar until creamy; add egg yolks one at a time, mixing well. Stir in mango puree, salt, lemon juice, and gently heat until combined but not boiling. Remove from heat and stir in dissolved gelatin.
- Pour the mango curd over the baked crust. Spoon raspberry jam on top and create swirls using a knife or skewer. Bake for an additional 20 minutes until set. Cool completely before slicing.
