For the Mango Mousse:

  • 2 ripe mangos, diced
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Step 1: Make the Pastry Dough

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, confectioners' sugar, and salt. Add softened butter; mix until dough forms.

Step 2: Chill the Pastry Dough

Step 5: Make the Coconut Mousse

In a separate mixing bowl, whip sweetened condensed milk until light and airy. Fold in shredded coconut, unsalted butter, and vanilla extract.

Step 6: Assemble the Tartlets

Place baked pastry shells on a wire rack to cool completely. Fill with a small dollop of coconut mousse.

In another mixing bowl, whip together diced mango, unsalted butter, honey, and confectioners' sugar until light and airy.
