Ingredients

  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup butter
  • ⅔ cup sugar
  • 2 cups flour
  • Mangoes
  • Sugar
  • Lemon
  • Cornstarch

Directions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Start by making your pie crust. Beat your egg in a large bowl.
  3. Add softened and cubed butter and sugar. Mix.
  4. Add the flour and mix until combined into a crumbly dough.
  5. Roll out into a 1/4 layer and put it into a tart pan, pressing the crust down onto the bottom and sides of the pan.
  6. Prick the crust with a fork a couple of times.
  7. In a saucepan, add the pureed flesh of two mangoes, sugar, cornstarch, a squeeze of lemon juice, and lemon zest. Cook until it reduces down into a thickened filling.
