What is Mango Curd?

Mango curd is a thick and luscious pudding made from ripe mangoes, sugar, and eggs. Its vibrant yellow color and fruity aroma make it a perfect filling for various desserts.

Ingredients:

* 3 ripe mangoes, peeled and pitted
* 1 cup granulated sugar
* 1/4 cup cornstarch
* 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cubed
* 2 large eggs

Instructions:

1. In a food processor or blender, combine the mangoes, sugar, and cornstarch. Puree until smooth.
2. Transfer the mango mixture to a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly.
3. Reduce heat to low. Add the butter and eggs and whisk until the butter melts and the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

What is Passion Fruit?

Passion fruit is a tropical fruit with a tart and tangy flavor. Its vibrant purple skin and juicy interior make it a popular ingredient in desserts and beverages.

Ingredients:

* 1 cup passion fruit pulp (from about 4-5 passion fruits)

Instructions:

1. In a small saucepan, combine the passion fruit pulp, sugar, and cornstarch. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly.

How to Assemble the Tart:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Line a 9-inch tart pan with a pre-baked tart crust.
3. Spread the mango curd evenly over the crust.
4. Top with the passion fruit filling.
5. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
6. Allow to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Tips:

* For a stronger mango flavor, use ripe and juicy mangoes.
* If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can mash the mangoes with a fork until smooth.
