Preparation Steps
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x9-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
- In a food processor, combine all-purpose flour, powdered sugar, and salt. Pulse until blended.
- Add cold butter pieces and pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Whisk together egg yolk, heavy cream, and vanilla extract, then incorporate into dry mix until crumbly.
- Press mixture firmly into baking dish, prick with a fork, freeze for 15 minutes, then bake for about 35 minutes until golden brown.
- While the crust cools, bloom the gelatin in cold water as per package instructions.
- Set up a double boiler and beat together softened butter and granulated sugar until creamy.
- Mix in egg yolks, mango puree, salt, and lemon juice. Stir continuously over double boiler until thickened, about 8-10 minutes.
- Remove from heat, whisk in bloomed gelatin, and strain through a fine sieve to eliminate solids.
- Spread mango curd evenly over the cooled shortbread crust.
- Warm raspberry jam slightly and spoon dollops over the curd. Swirl through with a knife to create marbled effect.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4-6 hours until fully set.
- Once set, lift from baking dish and slice into squares with a warm knife.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature.
