Discover these healthy air-fried mango basil tartlets with almond crust for a refreshing dessert. Perfect for clean eating and gluten-free indulgence!
Ingredients
- • ripe mangoes: 2, peeled and diced
- • fresh basil leaves: 1/4 cup, chopped
- • almond flour: 1 cup
- • coconut oil: 2 tablespoons, melted
- • honey: 2 tablespoons
- • lemon juice: 1 tablespoon
- • chia seeds: 1 tablespoon
- • vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
- • sea salt: 1/4 teaspoon
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- 2 In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, melted coconut oil, 1 tablespoon of honey, and a pinch of sea salt. Mix until a crumbly dough forms.
- 3 Press the almond mixture into the bottom of silicone muffin cups to form a crust. Make sure the crust is evenly pressed and about 1/4 inch thick.
- 4 Dice the ripe mangoes and mix them with the chopped basil, lemon juice, vanilla extract, chia seeds, and the remaining honey in a separate bowl. Let it sit for 5 minutes to allow the chia seeds to thicken the mixture slightly.
- 5 Spoon the mango basil mixture evenly onto each almond crust. Make sure not to overfill to keep the tartlets looking neat.
- 6 Place the filled muffin cups into the air fryer basket and cook for 10 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crispy. Allow to cool before serving.
Serving Suggestions
- • These Air-Fried Mango Basil Tartlets pair beautifully with a dollop of Greek yogurt on the side, enhancing the creaminess without overshadowing the tartlets' fresh flavors. For a refreshing beverage, consider serving with a chilled herbal tea or an iced chamomile infusion, both of which complement the herbal notes of basil. For an elegant presentation, garnish each tartlet with a basil leaf and a small mango slice. If you're hosting a gathering, these tartlets make a stunning centerpiece on a dessert platter surrounded by fresh berries and edible flowers.
Storage Tips
To maintain their freshness, store leftover tartlets in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. The almond crust may soften slightly over time, but the flavors will remain vibrant. For longer storage, freeze the tartlets in a single layer until solid, then transfer to a freezer-safe container. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
