Mango Tart and Caramelised Passionfruit Honey

Ingredients

3 mangoes, stoned, peeled, thinly sliced
3/4 cup (185mL) honey
1 free-range egg, lightly whisked
1 Tbs demerara sugar
4 passionfruit, halved
Ice cream, to serve

Sweet pastry:

2 tsp apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup (60ml) iced water
1 2/3 cups (250 g) plain flour
1/4 cup (55 g) caster sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
125 g chilled salted butter, chopped
2 Tbs sour cream

Frangipane:

100 g sour cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 1/2 Tbs honey
1 free-range egg, lightly whisked
1/2 cup (75 g) plain flour
1/2 cup (50 g) almond meal

Method

To make the sweet pastry, combine the vinegar and water in a jug. Place flour in a large bowl with the sugar, vanilla and salt. Add the butter and use your fingertips to rub butter into the flour mixture, leaving some larger pieces of butter (this makes the pastry flaky). Stir in the sour cream. Gradually add the vinegar mixture and use your hands to mix until a dough forms. Turn onto a lightly floured work surface and gently knead until the dough just comes together. Cover and place in the fridge for 1 hour to rest.

Grease a large baking tray and line with baking paper. Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface to a 3 mm-thick, 40 cm disc. Transfer the dough to the prepared tray and place in the fridge for 30 minutes to chill.

To make the frangipane, combine the sour cream, vanilla, honey, egg, flour and almond meal in a bowl.

Spread the frangipane over the pastry disc, leaving an 8 cm border. Combine the mango and 1/4 cup (60mL) honey in a clean large bowl. Arrange the mango mixture over the frangipane. Fold over the pastry border, pleating as you go. Brush with egg and sprinkle with sugar. Place in the fridge for 15 minutes to chill.

Preheat oven to 180 C. Bake the tart for 30 minutes. Reduce oven to 160 C and bake for a further 30-40 minutes or until pastry is golden and cooked through. Set aside to cool slightly.

Meanwhile, place the passionfruit pulp and remaining honey in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over high heat. Cook for 4-5 minutes or until mixture is dark golden. Set aside to cool.

Drizzle the passionfruit mixture over the tart. Cut into pieces and serve with ice cream.
