Description

Mango tart . This is my first try with a mango tart . This tart is a perfect antidote for cheerless days to pump you up with energy . sure to indulge your cravings that your senses will swoon to freeze right there . Usually I make banana and apple tarts . As this year there is an over load of mangoes at home from our farm . Trying to make use of them to the maximum as they are at their sweetest best right now .  Got this recipe from the world wide net but swapped some ingredients to make it more mango dominated . I used to get so confused with tarts and pies ,  When i used to mournfully flip through pages of recipe books Wanting to make them . Go through the ingredients , you end up with not having half the ingredients available here . My first tart shell I made was for quiches de Lorraine . I could not believe that I made the tart shell as it was so perfect And looked festive enough to be served at any special occasions . I religiously follow and stuck to the same recipe for my tart shells from then on for sweet or savoury . Divine dessert creations are sure to please sweet lovers of all strips , isn’t it ????
