Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut toasted
  • 9 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 1 ¼ cups canned mango puree (preferably Kesar)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large limes (zest and juice)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, toasted coconut, salt, and melted butter to form the crust mixture. Press it into a greased 9-inch tart pan.
  3. Bake the crust for about 10 minutes until lightly golden.
  4. Lower the oven temperature to 325°F (160°C). In a heat-proof bowl over simmering water, combine mango puree, lime zest, lime juice, sugar, salt, and egg yolks. Stir constantly until thickened (about 20 minutes).
  5. Mix in butter until smooth, then pour into the baked crust.
  6. Bake for an additional 15–17 minutes until set. Cool to room temperature before chilling in the fridge for at least 4 hours.
