Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 180°C. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper. Place 1 pastry sheet on each lined tray. Cover pastry with another sheet of baking paper and top with another baking tray. Bake, turning trays halfway during cooking, for 30-35 mins or until golden brown. Set aside to cool completely.
Step 2
Grease a 20cm (top and base measurement) square cake pan and line with baking paper, allowing the sides to overhang. Use a serrated knife to trim pastry sheets to fit the pan. Place 1 pastry square in the pan.
Step 3
Place the dried mango in a small heatproof bowl. Pour over enough boiling water to cover and set aside for 10 mins to soften. Drain, reserving 2 tbs liquid. Coarsely chop the dried mango. Place in a blender with the reserved liquid and chopped mango and blend until very smooth.
Step 4
Combine caster sugar and custard powder in a medium saucepan. Gradually add half the cream, whisking until smooth. Add remaining cream and place over medium heat. Gently whisk for 2-3 mins or until the mixture starts to bubble and thicken. Bring to the boil, whisking constantly, for 1 min. Remove from heat and add butter, 1 piece at a time, whisking after each addition. Add the vanilla and whisk to combine. Add egg yolks, 1 at a time, and whisk to combine. Stir in the mango mixture.
Step 5
Spoon the mango mixture into the cake pan and spread over the pastry. Smooth the surface. Top with the remaining pastry square. Place in the fridge for 6 hours or overnight until set.
Step 6
Place icing sugar, extra butter, lime juice and boiling water in a heatproof bowl. Stir until a thin, smooth paste forms. Spread over the pastry top. Place in the fridge for 30 mins to set.
Step 7
Transfer slice to a serving platter. Top with extra mango and lime rind to serve.
