Mango Tarte Tatin Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375˚F (190˚C).
• In a large bowl, beat the egg.
• Add the butter and sugar, and mix.
• Add the flour and mix until combined. The dough will be crumbly in your hand.
• Transfer the crust mixture into a greased 8-inch (20 cm) tart pan one handful at a time, pressing it down to create an even, thin layer over the entire pan, about ¼ inch (6 mm).
• NOTE: Freeze and save remaining pie crust crumble for later.
• Prick the crust with a fork to prevent it from puffing up in the oven.
• Bake the crust for 30-40 minutes, or until golden brown.
• On a cutting board, cut a half inch (1 cm) off the bottom and top off the mango to give it a flat base. Standing it upright, make exterior slices from the top to bottom to take the skin off.
• Remove the meat from the sides and thinly slice.
• In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, Greek yogurt, orange zest, sugar, orange juice, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly.
• Transfer the yogurt mixture to the cooled tart crust.
• Starting from the outer edge, place mango slices in a circular pattern, making full rotations all the way to the center.
• Chill the fruit tart for at least an hour.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In the food processor (or, alternatively, in a bowl), blend the flour, sugar and salt. Add the butter and pulse to blend (or mix in with your fingers) until the mixture is crumbly. Add the yolk, blend it in. If the dough does not hold together when pressed between 2 fingers, add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it does. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured flat surface. Knead the dough until smooth, flatten it and wrap in plastic. Refrigerate.
• Put the mangoes on a flat surface and, one by one, hold the mangoes upright and cut one slice off each "side". It's like quartering apples only you are avoiding the large pit in the center of each mango. Make each slice as deep as you can to extract the maximum flesh from each mango. Slice the smaller piece off the top and bottom of each fruit as well.
• In a skillet over low heat, melt the sugar until it becomes golden brown. Add the butter (it will bubble up). Remove the skillet from the heat and pour equal amounts of the caramelized sugar mixture into each ramekin. Divide the mango pieces among the ramekins and press the fruit into the caramel sauce.
• Roll the dough on a floured surface (or, alternatively, between 2 pieces of waxed paper) and cut out circles that fit the tops of the ramekins. Tuck the dough edges inside the ramekins so it covers the fruit. It is as if you are tucking the fruit into a pastry bed.
• Place the ramekins on a sheet pan and into the center of the oven and bake until the pastry browns, 15 to 18 minutes. Remove the ramekins from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes.
• Unmolding: Don't be afraid of failure. A tarte tatin is nice when imperfect! Place a plate over the pastry topping and flip the tart on to the plate. You can do it! Pour the reserved caramel back over the tart. If any fruit remains in the bottom of the skillet, simply dislodge it and insert it any fruit gaps before serving. Serve warm with ice cream or a dollop of sour cream.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 220 degrees F.
• To make the coconut meringue, whip the egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks. Add the sugar slowly and continue to whip until sugar is dissolved and meringue reaches the stiff peak stage. Fold in the toasted shredded coconut and place meringue into a pastry bag with a plain round tip. Pipe the meringue onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper into a circular motion to create a disk the diameter of 4-ounce ramekins. Bake until light golden brown, about 2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• For the mango Tart Tatin: In a medium skillet, over medium high heat, combine the water, sugar, honey, and lemon juice. Scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean and add them to the skillet. Cook until the mixture just starts to caramelize, and add the mangos. Stir until the mangos are coated. Continue to cook for 2 minutes, and then remove from heat. With a slotted spoon remove mangos from cooking liquid. Place mangos into a container and let cool to room temperature. Reserve the cooking liquid for the sauce.
• When the mangos have cooled, pack them into a buttered, 4-ounce ceramic ramekin and bake approximately 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and invert onto a coconut meringue disk.
• To make the tangerine honey sauce, add the mint leaves to the warm cooking liquid from the mangos. Stir to incorporate, set aside, and keep at room temperature.
• To make the papaya sorbet, dissolve the sugar and water in a large container. Add the papaya puree and lemon juice and freeze in an ice cream machine according to manufacturer's directions.
• Preheat oven to 200 degrees F.
• Oven-dried spiced pineapples: In a medium sized saucepan, combine the water, sugar, vanilla paste, cardamom seeds, cloves, and cinnamon sticks. Bring just to a boil. Remove from heat and add the pineapple slices. Soak the slices in the hot syrup for 2 to 3 minutes. With a slotted spoon remove the slices and drain well. Place pineapple slices onto a silicone baking mat or a parchment lined sheet tray in a single layer. Do not let the slices touch each other. Bake for 1 1/2 to 2 hours and remove from oven and let cool to room temperature. Store in airtight container.
• Place the tart tatin in the center of a plate. Place a small scoop of the sorbet on the side or on top of the tart, surround the tart with the honey sauce, and garnish with the dried pineapple chips.

Steps:

• Make pastry dough by placing flour, butter, egg yolk, powdered sugar, and salt in food processor and pulsing until texture resembles a course meal. Add water tablespoon by tablespoon. Assemble dough into small ball, wrap in plastic film and flatten to 1-inch circle. Chill for 30 minutes.
• Roll out dough and cut into 4 1/4-inch rounds and let chill for another 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Make caramel in non-reactive pan with sugar and water. Heat 6 (5-inch) cast iron blini pans, or 6 (8-ounce) ramekins in the oven.
• When sugar and water is a warm amber color, place pan in bowl of cold water to stop cooking. Pour caramel into hot pans, and fill with mango slices. Brush mango slices with melted butter. Prick pastry rounds with fork and place on top of mangoes. Bake in a 400-degree oven for 25 minutes or until pastry is browned.

Steps:

• Roll the pastry to a 3mm-thick round on a lightly floured surface and cut a 24cm circle, using a plate as a guide. Lightly prick all over with a fork, place on a baking sheet, then cover and freeze while preparing the apples.
• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Peel, quarter and core the apples. Put the sugar in a flameproof 20cm ceramic tatin dish or a 20cm ovenproof heavy-based frying pan and place over a medium-high heat. Cook the sugar for 5-7 mins to a dark amber caramel syrup that's starting to smoke, then turn off the heat and stir in the 60g diced chilled butter.
• To assemble the tarte tatin, arrange the apple quarters very tightly in a circle around the edge of the dish first, rounded-side down, then fill in the middle in a similar fashion. Gently press with your hands to ensure there are no gaps. Brush the fruit with the melted butter.
• Bake in the oven for 30 mins, then remove and place the disc of frozen puff pastry on top - it will quickly defrost. Tuck the edges down the inside of the dish and, with a knife, prick a few holes in the pastry to allow steam to escape. Bake for a further 40-45 mins until the pastry is golden brown and crisp.
• Allow to cool to room temperature for 1 hr before running a knife around the edge of the dish and inverting it onto a large serving plate that is deep enough to contain the juices. Serve with crème fraîche or vanilla ice cream.

Steps:

• Unroll the puff pastry, place on a baking sheet and chill for 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 200 °C/400 °F. Melt butter in a small pan, sprinkle in the sugar and allow to melt over low heat. Increase heat and, when mixture turns golden, pour immediately into a 25 cm tart tin.
• Starting at the outside edges of the tin, arrange mango in a circle over caramel, overlapping slices slightly.
• Carefully lay the chilled pastry over fruit, tucking the edges down inside the tin. Prick top of pastry with a fork, place tin in the oven and bake for 15 minutes.
• Leave to rest for 5 minutes before inverting the tart o a serving plate. Sprinkle with pine nuts and serve.
• Enjoy!
