Descriptions

These Easy Passion Fruit and Mango Mini Tarts are the perfect combination of sweet, tangy, and tropical flavors. The buttery crust holds a smooth, vibrant filling made from fresh mango and passion fruit, creating an irresistible treat for any occasion.

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the Filling: In a small saucepan, combine the diced mango, passion fruit pulp, honey, and lime juice. Cook over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture starts to thicken.

Step 2

Thicken the Filling: In a separate bowl, mix the cornstarch with the water to create a slurry. Slowly add the slurry to the fruit mixture while stirring. Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the mixture is thickened to a custard-like consistency. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 3

Prepare the Tart Shells: While the filling cools, preheat your oven according to the package instructions for the tart shells. If using homemade shells, prepare them and bake according to your recipe. If using store-bought mini tart shells, simply place them on a baking sheet.

Step 4

Fill the Tarts: Spoon the passion fruit and mango mixture into the cooled mini tart shells, filling them generously but leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 5

Bake (If Needed): If your tart shells require baking (check the instructions on the package), bake according to the directions until the crust is golden brown.

Step 6

Cool and Serve: Allow the tarts to cool completely before serving. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and an extra touch of freshness.

Pro Tips for Perfect Mini Tarts

Use Fresh Mango: Fresh mango will give you the best flavor and smoothest filling. If using frozen, make sure it’s fully thawed and drained.
Chill the Tarts: Be sure to refrigerate the tarts for at least an hour to let the filling set properly.
Pre-made Shells for Convenience: While you can make your own tart shells, using store-bought mini shells saves time and effort, perfect for when you’re in a hurry.
Tart Topper: Feel free to adjust the amount of passion fruit pulp you use based on your preference for tanginess. You can even use other fruits, like kiwi or raspberry, for variety.

FAQs

Can I use frozen mango?
Yes! Frozen mango works well, just make sure it’s thawed and drained before blending for the smoothest texture.
Can I make the tarts ahead of time?
Yes! These tarts can be made a day in advance and stored in the fridge. The crust may soften slightly, but the flavor will still be amazing.
Can I substitute the passion fruit pulp?
If you can’t find passion fruit, you can use any tangy fruit topping like fresh lime curd, raspberry puree, or even a dollop of lemon curd.
How do I store leftovers?
Store any leftover tarts in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. The filling may become a little more firm the longer it sits.

Creative Variations

Berry Bliss: Add a layer of fresh berries (like blueberries or raspberries) between the mango filling and passion fruit topping for extra color and flavor.
Tropical Coconut: Top the tarts with shredded coconut for a more tropical flair, or incorporate coconut milk into the filling for a creamy, coconut-infused flavor.
Citrus Twist: Add a bit of lime zest to the mango filling or mix in orange zest to create a more citrusy taste.
Vegan Version: Swap the cream cheese for coconut cream and use a plant-based whipped topping to make the tarts vegan-friendly.
