Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2
Roll out the flaky pastry dough to a thickness of about 3 mm. Cut into 6 equal rectangles.
- 3
In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, salt, and 50ml of water. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves.
Tip: Be patient and not rush the process.
- 4
Bring the sugar mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the mixture turns a deep amber color.
Tip: This is called the 'hard-ball' stage.
- 5
Remove the saucepan from the heat and carefully pour in the caramel sauce. Stir until the sauce is fully incorporated.
Tip: This is called tempering the sauce.
- 6
Let the caramel cool slightly, then stir in the vanilla extract and salted caramel chips.
- 7
Place a tablespoon of the caramel mixture onto one half of each pastry rectangle, leaving a 1cm border around the edges.
- 8
Fold the other half of the pastry over the filling, pressing the edges to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges.
Tip: Make sure the edges are sealed tightly.
- 9
Brush the tops of the turnovers with a little bit of milk or beaten egg for a golden glaze.
- 10
Bake the turnovers for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.

Remove the turnovers from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes.

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.
