Ingredients

2 small ripe mangoes, peeled, the flesh cut away in one piece from each side of the stone
40 g (1½oz) golden granulated sugar
40 g (1½oz) butter
375 g pack ready-rolled puff pastry

Directions

1. Step 1
  Preheat the oven to 220°C (200°C fan oven) mark 7. Slice each piece of mango along three-quarters of the length, so the slices are still joined together at the top.
2. Step 2
  Put the sugar into a large heavy-based frying pan. Heat very gently until it starts to dissolve and turn brown.
3. Step 3
  Add 25g (1oz) butter to the pan and stir well with a wooden spoon to make a caramel. Add the mango to the pan and toss gently to coat in caramel. Cook for 2-3min, pressing the fruit down firmly to fan out the slices. Remove from the heat.
4. Step 4
  Grease four 8cm (1¼in) individual tartlet tins with the remaining butter. Unroll the pastry and place one tin upside down on to it. Press a rolling pin over the tin to stamp out a pastry round. Repeat to make three more rounds. You can freeze any leftover pastry for future use.
5. Step 5
  Put one mango piece, curved side down, into each tin, pressing it gently so the slices fan out, then divide any remaining caramel among them.
6. Step 6
  Top the mango in each tin with one pastry round. Bake the tartlets in the preheated oven for 20-25min until the pastry is puffed up and golden brown.
7. Step 7
  To serve, turn the tartlets out on to plates with the mango uppermost.
