Treat your ingredients with care...
- Mangoes — Choose ripe mangoes that are slightly soft to the touch for the best flavor and texture.
- Puff pastry — Make sure to thaw the puff pastry according to the package instructions before using it in the recipe. This will ensure that it bakes evenly and becomes golden and crispy.
Tips & Tricks
- For an extra touch of indulgence, sprinkle some toasted coconut flakes over the Tarte Tatin before serving.
- If you prefer a milder caramel sauce, you can reduce the amount of cinnamon and cayenne pepper.
- Serve the Tarte Tatin warm for the best texture and flavor.
- If you don't have an oven-safe skillet, you can use a regular skillet to cook the caramel and then transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish before adding the mangoes and puff pastry.
- If you want to make individual servings, you can use ramekins instead of a skillet and adjust the baking time accordingly.
Serving advice
Serve the Mexican Tarte Tatin warm, either directly from the skillet or inverted onto a serving plate. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on top for a creamy and refreshing contrast to the warm mangoes and spicy caramel sauce.
Presentation advice
To make the presentation more appealing, drizzle some extra caramel sauce over the Tarte Tatin and garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a few fresh mint leaves. The vibrant colors of the mangoes will shine through, making it an eye-catching dessert.
