METHOD :
FOR THE SHORTCRUST PASTRY :
- Combine all of the ingredients and knead, then roll out the dough with a rolling pin and place on a tray lined with waxed paper.
- Bake at 160°C for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, cut circles using a small round cutter and bake again at 160°C for 10 more minutes. Allow to cool and set aside.
FOR THE CHIA SYRUP :
- Bring the water and sugar to a boil over high heat. Low heat for 15 minutes in a medium saucepan until syrupy. Remove from the heat and add the chia seeds, let cool and set aside.
- Melt the sugar in a medium saucepan and sprinkle in the cardamom. Pour the mixture onto a piece of waxed paper, then cover it with another piece of wax paper and flatten it using a rolling pin. Allow to cool to form a caramel.
FOR THE LEMON CREAM :
- Heat the sour cream, butter and lemon juice in a saucepan. Separately, combine the sugar, cornstarch and eggs in a bowl. Add a little to the hot mixture to temper it. Once tempered, add the rest to the saucepan and cook over low heat for 10 minutes, using a balloon whisk to stir until it thickens. Allow to cool and set aside.
TO SERVE :
- Peel and cut the mango into thin slices and roll them into a spiral. Sprinkle with sugar and caramelise.
- Then place the rolled mango on top of the shortcrust pastry. Use a piping bag to add several dots of lemon cream around the mango. Serve with a little chia syrup and decorate with the cardamom caramel.
