METHOD :

FOR THE SHORTCRUST PASTRY :

  1. 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.
  2. 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 :

  1. 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.
  2. 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 :

  1. 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 :

  1. Peel and cut the mango into thin slices and roll them into a spiral. Sprinkle with sugar and caramelise.
