Mango Lime Cream Tart

Recently I saw some mangoes on sale, and immediately I thought about what I can make with them. The first thing that came into mind was limes. I like to pair mangoes with limes because the sweetness of the mangoes balance out the sourness of limes. So, I am going to making mango lime cream tarts.

Ingredients:

Crust:

1 1/4 cups All-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1 tablespoon Granulated white sugar
1/2 cups unsalted butter, cut into 1 inch pieces

Filling:
1 (14oz) can of sweetened condensed milk
4 large egg yolks

2. In a food processor, combine flour, salt and sugar.
3. Add in the butter and process until the mixture resembke coarse meal.
4. Little by little, add in water. The mixture should still look choppy. Pinch the mixture with fingers. If the dough holds together, it is done.
5. Dust work surface with flour. Roll dough into a ball.
6. Cover with saran wrap and refrigerate for an hour.
7. After refrigeration, dust work surface with flour again and roll the dough out. It should be a few inches longer than the diameter of the tart dish.
8. Place dough in tart dish and prick the bottom and side of the dough with a forks.
9. Bake the dough for 10-15 minutes until semi-gold brown, and let it cool.

Oh yes, ask for the small amount of condensed milk that stuck on the side of the can, scrap it off and spread it onto a piece of bread. Condensed milk toast! Yummy!
