Preparation

  1. STEP 1 OF 5

    For the shortcrust pastry: In a stand mixer, pour the flour, add the cold butter and start mixing. Add the chopped almonds, sugar, egg, and a pinch of salt, continue mixing until a compact ball forms, which you will let rest in the fridge wrapped in plastic wrap for 30 minutes.

  2. STEP 2 OF 5

    Grate the lemon zest, put it in a saucepan with the milk and heat without boiling. With the help of a whisk, in a bowl beat the egg yolks with the sugar, then gradually add the cornstarch and flour and continue mixing. Add the warm milk and continue whisking, increasing the speed.

  3. STEP 3 OF 5

    At this point, pour the cream into the saucepan and cook over low heat for another 10 minutes, stirring with a wooden spoon to prevent lumps from forming. Pour in a little more lemon zest. Turn off the heat and let it cool.

  4. STEP 4 OF 5

    Grease the baking pan, roll out the dough trying to recreate the heart shape if you don't have the specific mold. Bake in a fan oven for 15 minutes on the lower rack. Remove and let cool slightly. Spread the lemon cream on the surface with the help of a spatula. Arrange the raspberries inside the tart.

  5. STEP 5 OF 5

    Cut the mango into thin, long slices and place them along the perimeter of the tart and between the raspberries. Decorate with fresh mint leaves
