How to Make Caramelized Mango Tart With Mexican Chocolate And Pepitas

  1. **Caramelize the Mangoes:** In a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter. When it begins to brown, add the sliced mangoes.
  2. Stir frequently for 2-3 minutes until the mangoes release their juices.
  3. Sprinkle the sugar over the mangoes and continue stirring frequently until all the liquid has evaporated and the mangoes are caramelized (about 4-5 minutes).
  4. Remove from heat and let the caramelized mangoes cool completely.
  5. **Make the Chocolate-Pepita Filling:** Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Position rack in the middle.
  6. In a food processor, combine the chopped Mexican chocolate and pepitas. Pulse until finely chopped.
  7. Add the almond butter and process until the mixture is smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
  8. **Assemble and Bake the Tart:** Unroll the thawed puff pastry onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  9. Cut the pastry into two 5 x 10-inch rectangles.
  10. Spread the chocolate-pepita filling evenly over each rectangle, leaving a 1-inch border.
  11. Arrange the cooled caramelized mango slices in an even layer over the chocolate filling.
  12. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the mangoes are richly caramelized.
