Lemon Tartlet with Mango Topping

Published on by sweetsourmoments2 Comments

My favorite part in this dessert is the lemon tartlet, like it very much… I picked mango as the topping just because I have it ready in the kitchen, ripe and sweet. I could actually use berries topping, but I’d need to thaw them first while the mangoes were lining up on the counter, just need to be peeled and diced. I bought 2 boxes of half ripe mango last time went to grocery  shopping, by the day I made this recipe they were all ripe, my little one just loves it.

This menu is perfect for my mango craving,… well, I feel like I didn’t get to eat enough mango when I was visiting Indonesia last time. Also perfect for summer since I am so ready to say goodbye to this winter. Enjoy!
