Ingredients
100 g butter
1/2 cup sugar
2 egg yolks
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
2 medium Tommy mangoes, chopped
1 can sweetened condensed milk
4 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp unflavored gelatin powder
1/2 cup sugar

Where to find ingredients
You can find these ingredients at major local markets or supermarkets in the baking and fresh produce aisles. For the mangoes, look for firm, ripe fruit at local fruit stalls. If unflavored gelatin is unavailable, it can be sourced from specialty baking supply shops; as a substitute, one could experiment with agar-agar, though quantities would need adjustment.
Preparation method
- Cream the butter, sugar, and egg yolks together in a mixer until the mixture is smooth and pale.
- Sift the flour and baking powder over the creamed mixture.
- Mix well with your hands until the dough becomes homogeneous.
- Shape the dough into a ball.
- Chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
- Roll out the dough using a rolling pin.
- Line a baking dish with the dough and prick the bottom with a fork.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 30 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and allow the crust to cool completely.
- Blend the chopped mangoes, condensed milk, and lemon juice in a blender until you have a smooth cream.
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl.
- Dissolve the unflavored gelatin with 2 tablespoons of water in a bain-marie or in the microwave.
- Incorporate the dissolved gelatin into the mango cream.
- Pour the filling over the cooled, baked crust.
- Refrigerate until the filling sets and gains a firm consistency.
