FOR THE PASTRY

  • 165 g Spelt
  • 15 g Desiccated coconut
  • 20g Cacao powder
  • 1/4 Tsp. Baking powder
  • 30 g Muscovado sugar
  • 50 g Butter
  • 1 Egg

MANGO FILLING

  • 1 Large mango
  • 3 Passion fruit
  • 15 g Coconut sugar
  • 2 Cardamom pods blended to a powder
  • 1 Pinch of salt
  • 1 Tbsp. Cornflour
  • 1 Tbsp. Greek yogurt

CHOCOLATE FILLING

  • 250 ml Almond milk
  • 3 Cardamom pods
  • 2 Tbsp. Coconut sugar
  • 1/2 Tsp. Vanilla paste
  • 150 g Dark chocolate
  • 1 Egg

Method

1

Preheat your oven to 180°C/400°F.

2

To make your dough, mix the flour, coconut, cacao and baking powder. Make a well – add the butter, whisk your egg and add to your mixture. Mix by hand until it forms a ball – be aware the pastry will be very short and crumbly and might need quite a bit of mixing. 

Put in the freezer for 15 minutes.

3

In the meantime, make your fillings. For the mango filling, puree the mangoes, passion fruit, sugar, cardamom and salt in a blender.

In a small bowl mix the cornflour with 1 tablespoon of water. Pour the puree into a saucepan, add the cornflour and cook on medium heat for about 12-15 minutes until mixture thickens. Stir the mixture continuously with a wooden spoon while cooking to ensure a smooth creamy result. The final texture should feel slightly firmer than thick yogurt.

 Leave it to cool. Once completely cooled, fold in the Greek yogurt.

4

For the chocolate filling. Into a heavy bottom saucepan add the milk, the lightly crushed cardamom and the vanilla paste. Cook gently on a medium heat for 4-6 minutes until the milk is warm enough to melt the chocolate. Cut the chocolate into pieces, take the pan off the heat and melt the chocolate until you get a smooth consistency. Add the egg and cook very gently for a further 6 minutes. 

Keep aside to cool.

5

Now take your dough and roll out in between  2 sheet of parchment paper, to about 1/2 cm thick and divide into previously greased tartlet moulds.

6

Blind bake your tartlets for 10-12 minutes. 

Leave to cool for 20 minutes.

7

To assemble your tartlets, pour the mango or chocolate filling into the crusts, sprinkle with cacao for the chocolate and coconut for the mango.

Serve cool.

Enjoy… Bon appetit!  ♥♥♥
