Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the crust by combining crushed biscuits, melted butter, and sugar in a mixing bowl. Press into the tart pan and bake at 350°F for 10-12 minutes until golden.
  2. Make the mango curd by whisking mango purée, sugar, lemon juice, egg yolks, and whole eggs in a saucepan over low heat, cooking for 7-10 minutes until thickened.
  3. Incorporate the melted butter into the thickened mango curd for a creamy consistency. Strain if necessary for a smooth texture.
  4. Carefully fill the cooled crust with the mango curd and level it off.
  5. Chill the tart in the fridge for 3-4 hours until the curd is firm.
  6. Serve the tart chilled, garnished with optional toppings like fresh mango, mint, coconut, or berries.
