Mango Pitahaya Tart

A tart with a tender crust, rich pastry cream, topped with mango and pitahaya. Crust stays crisp under the cream. Vanilla bean infusion in cream makes the texture dense, not runny. Pitahaya adds subtle earthiness; mango brings juicy sweetness. Apricot glaze seals the fruit, adds slight shine and subtle tartness. Stepwise chilling ensures structure holds when serving. Adjusted flour and sugar balance keeps crust flaky but not crumbly. A touch of lemon zest in pastry cream cut into sweetness, keeps it fresh. Uses plant-based refined oil instead of butter for twist and allergy-friendly. Substituted tapioca starch for flour in cream for silkier finish. Instructions shuffled for workflow in busy kitchen.
