Cooking Instructions

  1. Pre-heat oven to 165˚C
  2. Place coconut and dates in a food processer and blend until it resembles fine breadcrumbs.
  3. Add the juice of 1 orange to the date mixture until it comes together.
  4. Line a 20 cm tart tin with the date mixture, by pressing it into a thin layer covering bith the base and sides.
  5. In a stand mixer add your butter and cream, slowly add the caster sugar until mixture is light and fluffy.
  6. Add beaten eggs one at a time mixing well after each addition.
  7. Add ground almonds and orange zest and mix well.
  8. Pour the almond mixture into tart casing and spread mixture out smoothly and evenly.
  9. Peel mangos and cut the sides off, thinly slice each side into 2mm thick slices lengthwise.
  10. Layer the mangos on top of the almond mixture making sure to fan it out beautifully.
  11. Bake for 35 – 45 minutes. Then remove from the oven and allow the tart to cool.
  12. Sponge gelatin in a bowl of cold water then melt in the microwave.
  13. Pour gelatin mixture into orange juice whisking continuously until all the gelatin has been added.
  14. Allow the gelatin to cool before pouring over the cooled tart. If the tart is not cooled the orange mixture will take much longer to set.
