This is my absolute favourite tart to make when mangoes are at their peak. The combination of tangy passion fruit curd with sweet, juicy mango is pure sunshine on a plate, and the best part is that it comes together in just under an hour.

The buttery pastry is wonderfully simple to make from scratch, requiring just a few basic ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen. It's the kind of dessert that looks impressive enough for guests but is actually quite straightforward to pull together.
