Mango Vanilla Lava Tartlets (Creamy, Bright & Melting Center)

There’s something about mango and vanilla that feels light, smooth, and just a little indulgent.

These tartlets bring it all together.

Buttery shells filled with silky vanilla cream and a bright mango center that gently flows with every spoonful. Soft, creamy, and balanced with just the right touch of freshness.

What you’ll need

For the tart shells:

• 1 pack mini tart shells (or shortcrust pastry)

For the vanilla cream:

• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 3 tbsp powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the mango center:

• 1 cup mango puree
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 tsp cornstarch (optional, for slight thickness)

How it comes together

Prepare or bake your tart shells until lightly golden, then let them cool.

In a bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth and fluffy.

In a small saucepan, gently heat the mango puree with honey (and cornstarch if using) until slightly thickened, then let it cool.

Fill each tart shell with vanilla cream, leaving a small space in the center.

Add a spoon of mango filling in the middle.

Chill for 20–30 minutes before serving for the best texture.

The best part

Take a spoon and go right through the center.

The mango flows into the vanilla cream, creating a soft, smooth bite that feels fresh, light, and perfectly creamy.
