Ingredients
For the Crust:
7 oz graham crackers (about 13 full crackers)
Pinch fine sea salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper (optional)
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
For the Mango Lime Filling:
1 pound mango (about 3 medium), peeled and cored
6 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
4 egg yolks, at room temperature
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
2 tablespoons Amoretti Natural Mango Artisan Flavor (optional)
For the Whipped Topping:
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Mango slices or edible flowers (optional for decoration)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Crush graham crackers in a food processor until finely ground.
3. Add salt and cayenne (if using) and pulse.
4. Drizzle in melted butter and pulse until crumbs are evenly moistened.
5. Press mixture into a 9-inch tart pan. Bake 8–10 minutes until lightly browned. Cool slightly.
6. Peel and core mangoes. Blend until smooth and strain to get 1 cup puree.
7. Whisk egg yolks with lime juice in a bowl.
8. Add sweetened condensed milk, then mango puree and flavoring. Mix well.
9. Pour filling into cooled crust and bake 15–18 minutes, until edges are set but center jiggles slightly.
10. Cool on a wire rack, then chill at least 3 hours or overnight.
11. Whip cream to soft peaks, add powdered sugar and vanilla.
12. Top chilled tart with whipped cream, lime zest, and mango or flowers.
Notes
You can make the tart a day in advance and refrigerate overnight.
Optional cayenne in the crust adds subtle warmth, skip it for a milder flavor.
Use very ripe mangoes for best sweetness and texture.
Great for summer parties, brunches, or as a make-ahead tropical dessert.
