Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 220°C and grease a 23cm tart tin.
  • Pulse flour and icing sugar in a food processor, then add butter until crumbs form.
  • Mix egg yolks and two tablespoons of water into the dough by hand.
  • Knead the dough briefly, flatten into a circle, and chill for 20 minutes.
  • Roll the pastry to 3mm thickness on a floured surface.
  • Line the tart tin with the pastry and place it on a baking tray.
  • Prick the pastry base with a fork and chill for 10 minutes.
  • Fill the pastry with parchment and baking beans, then bake for 20 minutes.
  • Remove the beans and brush the pastry with egg wash.
  • Bake for 8 minutes until golden-brown and dry.
  • Lower the oven temperature to 140°C.
  • Stir eggs, citrus zests, and 150g caster sugar in a bowl until dissolved.
  • Puree half the mango and sieve to obtain 50g of smooth puree.
  • Combine 100ml passionfruit and orange juice with the rum, mango, and cream.
  • Trim the excess pastry from the sides of the cooked case.
  • Warm the filling over simmering water until it reaches 55°C.
  • Pour filling into the case and bake for 25 minutes until just set.
  • Cool for 10 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
  • Decorate with desiccated coconut, sliced mango, and physalis.
