Delicious Mango Egg Tarts with a luscious mango coconut milk custard and easy Graham crackers crust. These mini tarts are perfect for tea time or dessert.
I was thrilled when Jill Colonna, the author of Mad About Macarons invited me to do a guest post for her blog. I was nervous yet excited about the prospect of posting something to complement her impressive collection of confectioneries.
Jill had one request. The recipe should have at least two egg yolks because “macaronivores” use up egg whites and leave the egg yolks all yellow with no where to go.
I spent several days thinking about what I could share with her wide audience. I finally settled on an East meets West kind of recipe. Please do Jill and me the honor of going over to Mad About Macarons to read my Mango Egg Tarts post. Thank you!
Delicious Mango Egg Tarts with a luscious mango coconut milk custard and easy Graham crackers crust. These mini tarts are perfect for tea time or dessert.
(Makes 6 tarts)
- 1¼ cups finely crushed Graham crackers / Marie biscuits / Digestive biscuits / ginger snaps (140g)

In a small bowl, whisk egg yolks lightly. Set aside.

Enjoy…..and have a wonderful day! 😎

June 14, 2011 at 3:56 amHi,
Thanks for sharing the recipe. Just a question. There is one part of the recipe which mentioned :
(Heat butter in a pan and cook flour).
May i know how long do i have to cook the flour?
thks and regards
Biren says
June 15, 2011 at 2:24 pmHi Devan, thanks for visiting! It takes only about 2 minutes to cook the flour with butter.
Devan says
June 23, 2011 at 1:40 amHi ,
I tried this recipe and is yummy. I did the normal tart as i dont have digestive biscuit with me. However i dont get those nice yellowish colour tart like yours and i think the coconut milk overpower the mango puree. Mine taste more like “kaya custard”. But never mind about that, over all is delicious. Thanks again.

Biren says
June 23, 2011 at 7:49 amThanks Devan, for taking the time to let me know how it went for you. I am glad you found it delicious. You must have very nice and thick coconut milk where you live (Malaysia?). Over here, I either use carton or canned coconut milk. I prefer the carton but there isn’t much taste to it. There is also thickening agent and so it must be diluted. Perhaps you can use lighter coconut milk or dilute it with water. For the crust, you can use Marie biscuits if you do not have digestive biscuit.
Devan says
June 23, 2011 at 10:57 pmHi,
Yes….i m from Malaysia…and i bought fresly squeeze coconut milk…is real thick!!!! Probably that is the reason why i dont get the nice yellowish tart. May be next time i will try using diluted coconut milk.
MaryMoh says
January 17, 2013 at 4:12 pmWow….these looks so pretty and delicious. I have always enjoyed egg tarts but have not tried mango egg tarts. I love mangoes and dI’m sure they are equally delicious. Hope to try one day. Thanks very much for sharing.
