    There is nothing like ending the weekend and Sunday dinner with a sweet treat. Easy Mango Tarte Tatin is the elegant dessert that will wow your friends and family, yet only requires four simple ingredients.

    Easy Mango Tarte Tatin

    I love the easy elegance of a tarte tatin, such as my savory Onion Tarte Tatin. Using the help of a grocery store staple, this dessert is always a crowd pleaser and total show stopper.

    Ingredients

    There's no need for a laundry list of ingredients when it comes to making Easy Mango Tarte Tatin.

    Easy Mango Tarte Tatin
    • Mangos - A little sweet, and a little tart, this tropical fruit brings a taste of the islands to this traditionally French dessert that is often made with apples.
    • Sugar - This is the base for the caramel sauce that gives the mangos the Instagram worthy glossy shine.
    • Butter - Butter really does make everything better, including the caramel sauce in this confection.
    • Puff Pastry - The champion of the frozen food aisle, this single ingredient will give you the freshly baked buttery and flaky crust without all of the work.

    How to Make Easy Mango Tarte Tatin

    This sweet treat is the ultimate way to end any meal. With just a few simple steps it's sure to become a regular part of your rotation.

    Time needed: 45 minutes.

    The traditional French pastry gets kissed by the tropics with this delicate and sweet dessert.

    1. Prep

      Allow your puff pastry to defrost. You can either allow it to defrost slowing in the refrigerator or in about half an hour on the counter. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

    2. Caramelization

      Add your sugar to a cast iron pan over medium-low heat. Let the sugar begin to melt, but make sure it doesn't burn. It will begin to turn a golden, caramelized color.

      Add your butter and stir to combine.

    4. Pastry

      Cut your puff pastry to the size of your pan. Lay it over the top of the arranged mangoes. Use a fork to create several small holes so the steam can release. Easy Mango Tarte Tatin

    5. The Heat is On

      Bake your tarte tatin for 30 minutes, or until the pastry if golden brown and puffed. Allow it to cool for several minutes.

    6. The Grand Reveal

      Once your cast iron skillet has cooled slightly place a plate over the top of the pan. With confidence, give it a flip

    Variations

    While this dessert celebrated the tropical flavors of the mango, you can easily swap out the fruit for something different. Apple is the classic addition to this pastry. You can also use peaches, apricots, or plums. Once you learn the method you can make it with your favorite fruits.

    Tools

    The beauty of this dessert is you don't need any special tools for spectacular results. The caramel is created in the same cast iron pan that the tarte tatin is baked in. For this recipe I used a 10" cast iron pan, but you can adjust for what you have. You just may use a little less or a little more mango.
