Instructions
- 1
In a food processor, combine flour, powdered sugar, ginger, cinnamon, and salt. Pulse to combine.
~1 min - 2
Add cold, cubed butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
~2 min - 3
Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, pulsing until the dough just comes together.
~2 min - 4
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, form into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
~5 min - 5
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Roll out the chilled dough to about 1/8-inch thickness. Cut out circles to fit your tartlet pans and press them in, trimming any excess.
~10 min - 7
Prick the bottom of each tartlet shell with a fork. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
~18 min - 8
While the tartlet shells bake, in a saucepan, whisk together mango puree, lime juice, granulated sugar, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened and bubbly, about 3-5 minutes.
~5 min - 9
Remove the mango filling from heat and let it cool slightly.
~5 min - 10
Once the tartlet shells are cooled, spoon the mango filling into each shell.
~3 min - 11
In a separate chilled bowl, whip the solidified part of the chilled coconut milk with powdered sugar using an electric mixer until fluffy. Be careful not to overmix.
~7 min - 12
Spoon or pipe the coconut cream onto the filled tartlets. Garnish with lime zest.
~2 min
Tips
- Ensure your coconut milk is fully chilled overnight for best results when whipping the cream.
- These tartlets are best served fresh, but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Keep the coconut cream separate until just before serving to prevent sogginess.
