Yield Makes 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

For crust
Nonstick vegetable oil spray
2 cups roasted macadamia nuts (about 10 ounces)
1 1/2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
1 1/4 cups shelled pistachios (about 5 ounces)
1/2 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
3 large egg whites
For lime curd
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup fresh lime juice
10 large egg yolks
1/2 cup (1 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces
2 mangoes, peeled, pitted, sliced
1/4 cup guava jelly or red currant jelly

Steps:

  • Make crust:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray eight 4-inch-diameter tartlet pans with removable bottoms with vegetable oil spray. Combine macadamia nuts, coconut, pistachios and brown sugar in processor. Process until nuts are finely chopped. Transfer to large bowl. Beat egg whites in another large bowl until soft peaks form. Fold whites into nut mixture in 3 additions (mixture will be thick and sticky). Let mixture stand 10 minutes.
  • Using plastic wrap as aid, press about 1/3 cup nut mixture onto bottoms and up sides of each prepared pan. Place pans on baking sheet. Bake until crusts are puffed and begin to brown, about 20 minutes. Cool crusts in pans 5 minutes. Using oven mitt, gently remove pan sides; cool crusts completely on rack.
  • Make lime curd:
  • Whisk sugar, lime juice and yolks in large metal bowl to blend. Set bowl over saucepan of simmering water (do not allow bottom of bowl to touch water); whisk constantly until mixture thickens and candy thermometer registers 180°F., about 9 minutes. Remove bowl from over water. Gradually add chilled butter, whisking until melted and well blended. Press plastic wrap directly on surface of curd. Refrigerate until cold, about 3 hours. (Crusts and lime curd can be prepared 1 day ahead. Store crusts in airtight container at room temperature. Keep lime curd refrigerated.)
  • Fill each crust with 5 tablespoons lime curd. Arrange mango slices decoratively atop tartlets. Whisk guava jelly in heavy small saucepan over low heat until melted. Brush over mango slices. Chill at least 3 hours and up to 1 day.

The tropical nut crust was a bit too dry for my liking. I think I would have preferred it if I had used a different type of nut, such as almonds or walnuts.

These tartlets were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had used less sugar in the lime curd.

I'm not a big fan of lime curd, so I substituted lemon curd instead. The tartlets were still delicious, but I think I would have preferred them with lime.

I'm not usually a fan of mango, but these tartlets changed my mind. The lime curd perfectly balanced out the sweetness of the mango, and the tropical nut crust added a nice textural contrast.

These mango tartlets were a huge hit at my last dinner party! The combination of sweet mango, tangy lime curd, and crunchy tropical nut crust was absolutely divine. My guests couldn't get enough of them.
