Ingredients

1 cup salted butter, room temperature
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup diced mango
4 large eggs
1 tbsp fresh lime juice
1 cup fresh lemon juice
1½ cups granulated sugar
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Confectioner sugar for garnish

Method

Heat the oven to 350°F. Mix butter with the 2 cups flour and ½ cup sugar. Press into a lined 9-by-13-inch pan and bake for 15–20 minutes.
Blend mango with lime juice. For the filling, combine 1½ cups sugar and ¼ cup flour, then whisk in eggs, lemon juice, vanilla and ¼ cup of the mango purée.
Pour over the crust and bake for 25–30 minutes, until set rather than liquid. Cool completely before dusting with confectioners’ sugar and cutting.
