Step by Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper.
- In a food processor, combine all-purpose flour, powdered sugar, and salt, blending until mixed.
- Add cold butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse sand.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, heavy cream, and vanilla extract, then combine with the flour mixture.
- Press the crust into the bottom of the dish, prick with a fork, and freeze for 20-30 minutes.
- Cover with foil and pie weights, then bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove the weights and bake for an additional 20 minutes until golden. Allow to cool.
- While the crust cools, bloom the unflavored gelatin powder in cold water and set aside.
- Using a double boiler, combine softened butter and granulated sugar, mixing until fluffy.
- Gently stir in the egg yolks, mango puree, salt, and fresh lemon juice.
- Cook over simmering water, stirring continuously until the curd thickens, about 15-25 minutes.
- Once thickened, melt the bloomed gelatin and mix it into the curd.
- Strain the curd through a fine mesh sieve for a silky texture.
- Warm your raspberry jam in a small saucepan until it becomes more fluid.
- Pour the creamy mango curd over the cooled crust, smoothing it into an even layer.
- Using a knife, create swirls of the raspberry jam through the mango curd.
- Place the baking dish into the refrigerator to chill and set for 4-6 hours or ideally overnight.
- Once set, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper for easy removal.
- To cut the bars neatly, use a warm knife, wiping it clean between slices.
- Cut them into squares or rectangles, and serve chilled.
