    Mango Shrikhand Tart (Flavoured Yoghurt) Recipe

    Published: Oct 23, 2022 by Chef Tripti · This post may contain affiliate links

    Shrikhand is a popular dessert from Gujrat, west India. It is a thick, strained, flavoured yoghurt dessert and is creamy, tangy, sweet and fresh. Simply irresistible! In this recipe, we make a mango shrikhand tart with vegan greek yoghurt in a vegan pastry. As we are using vegan greek yoghurt, there is no need to strain it, saving a lot of time. These tarts look pretty and make a perfect bite-sized dessert for your parties. Moreover, they are easy to make and can be made well in advance with only a few ingredients.

    Ingredients

    Ingredients for mango shrikand flavoured yoghurt tarts in small glass dishes.
    • Plain flour
    • Vegan block butter
    • Sugar
    • Mango puree
    • Vegan yoghurt
    • Pistachio nuts
    • Almond flakes

    See the recipe card for quantities.

    Instructions

    A glass bowl containing mixture of plain flour and vegan block butter rubbed together resembling breadcrumbs.

    Sift the plain flour into a bowl and add the cubed vegan block butter. Rub them together until it resembles breadcrumbs.

    A hand holding a tart base dough in a glass bowl.

    Add ice water a little at a time and combine the mixture to form a dough. Press down the dough into a circular shape and wrap it in cling film. Refrigerate it for an hour to let it rest.

    Rolled out vegan dough with circles cut out with a dough cutter.

    Roll the dough with a rolling pin until it is 4mm thick. Using a 3-inch diameter circular dough cutter, cut the dough into 12 circles.

    A tray of pastry tart bases with parchment paper and baking balls inside each ready for baking.

    Place a small piece of parchment paper in each tart and fill it with baking beads. Doing this will ensure that the pastry does not rise or shrink. Place in the refrigerator again while the oven heats up. Blind bake (without any filling) at 190ºC for 8 minutes. Then remove the baking balls and parchment paper and bake for 5 minutes or until golden brown.

    Add the mango puree to a pan for the tart filling and simmer for 5 minutes until it thickens. Let it cool down.

    In a bowl, whisk together the thickened mango puree, vegan greek yoghurt and cardamom powder till there are lumps and it's light and fluffy.

    Substitutions

    I used tinned mango puree for this recipe. Of course, you can make your own. Peel some mangos and remove the flesh from the stone. Chop it up and place it in a blender with a bit of water. Add some sugar if you want to make it sweeter. It takes no more than ten minutes.

    Variations

    Fancy a different flavour for your shrikhand tart? The possibilities are many! From plain greek yoghurt shrikhand to perhaps, chocolate flavoured, honey flavoured, apple flavoured (why not try with my apple butter) or strawberry flavoured. Or maybe add a spice like cardamom or cinnamon.

    Equipment

    To make the tartlets, you will need a tart tin and a piping bag with a star-shaped nozzle.

    Storage

    These mango shrikhand tarts are best consumed immediately; however, you can refrigerate them for up to three days in an airtight box. For a day, the tart pastry will remain flaky, beyond that, the tart will start losing its flakiness and become soft.

    The tart shells can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.

    Top tips

    After you have rubbed the vegan butter and plain flour together to a breadcrumb consistency, getting the mixture to a dough form with minimum movement is essential. This is because overworking makes the dough more elastic, and when it is baked, it will shrink in the oven. We are aiming for a flaky consistency with the baked pastry.

    If you do not have baking beads for pastry baking, you can use dried beans, lentils, or dry rice.

    FAQ

    What is blind baking?

    In some recipes, pastry bases have unbaked fillings. In this case, the pastry base is baked independently - blind baking. As in this recipe, the pastry is pricked with folk and filled with baking beads or a suitable substitute like dried beans, lentils or rice to ensure the pastry retains its shape.

    Food Safety

    In a professional kitchen, food hygiene and safety are top priorities, and from the beginning of my training, I practised good habits and routines. Of course, practising good food hygiene and safety at home is also essential. Here are some fundamental practices to adopt in the kitchen.

    • Wash your hands regularly while preparing, handling and cooking food.
    • Wipe down countertops and high-contact points regularly.
    • If you cook meat and fish, do not use the same utensils on cooked food that previously touched raw meat. Use separate chopping boards for meat and fish. Wash your chopping boards immediately after use.
    • Thoroughly cook food to a minimum temperature of 165 °F (74 °C).
    • Don't leave food at room temperature for extended periods (more than 2 hours).
    • Store food correctly.

    For more details regarding food hygiene and safety in the home, visit the UK Government's Food Standards Agency webpage.
