This Gluten-Free Mango Tart is as gorgeous as it is delicious. With a nutty almond flour crust, creamy mango passionfruit filling, and a picture perfect topping of fresh mango slices, it’s the perfect summer dessert for any occasion!

Gluten-Free Mango Tart (Vegan + Refined Sugar-Free)

This stunning mango tart is what summer dessert dreams are made of—bright, fresh, and bursting with tropical flavor. It starts with a golden almond flour crust that’s completely gluten-free and oil-free, and filled with sweet flavor thanks to a splash of Rodelle vanilla extract. This crust is perfect for any pie or tart, so make sure you save it to use again! I love using almond flour to make my gluten free tart crusts because it provides a slightly nutty flavor that complements the filling components so nicely.

Speaking of filling – prepare to be swept away by this St. Dalfour Mango Passionfruit Jam filling. The silky filling is simply a dream, made with plant-based milk, agar agar for the perfect texture, and the star ingredient — St. Dalfour Mango Passionfruit Jam. Unlike overly sweet spreads, this jam is made with real fruit and no added sugar, so it adds a deep, natural mango flavor that really shines through. I added a touch more Rodelle vanilla ties it all together with its sweet, bold, aromatic warmth that elevates both the crust and the filling!

This Mango Tart would not be complete without fresh mango slices on top. I wanted to make this as summery and fresh as possible, so I arranged the slices into a delicate rose. It really takes this tart to another level, making its presentation just as beautiful as it tastes. It’s peak mango season, and I cannot think of a better way to celebrate!

Gluten Free Mango Tart Ingredients

This gluten free tart recipe is far easier than you would imagine. You likely have many of the ingredients already. Let’s break them down:

Almond Flour Tart Crust Ingredients

  • Almond flour: This is the base of this crust, and honestly, the best choice. The flavor is subtle but adds a beautiful undertone of nuttiness, and almond flour is naturally gluten free.
  • Tapioca flour: Lightens the texture and helps bind the dough. You can also use cornstarch or arrowroot powder if that is what you have on hand.
  • Maple syrup: Adds subtle sweetness without refined sugar.
  • Rodelle vanilla extract: This is my favorite vanilla extract; it is pure, deeply flavored and brings the right amount of warmth to the crust.
  • Water + salt: Essentials to the crust’s dough. 

Mango Passionfruit Tart Filling Ingredients

  • Plain soy milk: I opted to use soy milk as I love the consistency and added protein. It is perfect for forming the mango custard filling. You can sub with oat or almond milk if you prefer.
  • Orange juice: Adds citrus brightness that complements the mango.
  • Tapioca flour + agar agar: These work together to thicken and set the filling without the need for gelatin.
  • St. Dalfour Mango Passionfruit Jam: Um, hello! A total necessity for this fruit tart. I cannot imagine making this tart with any other filling. It intensifies the fruit flavor with real mango and no added sugar!
  • Maple syrup + vanilla: Add natural sweetness and round out the flavor.
  • Ripe mangoes: Another necessity for this tart, fresh mangos! I love Ataulfo mangos as they tend to be the least fibrous, almost always sweet and easy to find in grocery stores.

Tools for This Recipe

There are a few essential tools you’ll need to make this gluten-free tart from start to finish:

  • 9″ tart pan with removable bottom
  • Medium mixing bowl
  • Saucepan for cooking the filling
  • Rubber spatula
  • Refrigerator or freezer for chilling

How to Make a Mango Tart

Making this mango tart is much easier than you’d think based on its beautiful appearance. I’ve made this crust recipe several times with different fruits, but this mango tart is by far my favorite! The contrast in textures and flavors has me weak at the knees! Here are the steps to making one:

How to Make Gluten-Free Tart Crust with Almond Flour

This almond tart crust recipe uses just six ingredients and takes minutes to make. Start by mixing almond flour, tapioca flour, and a pinch of sea salt in a bowl. Stir in maple syrup, Rodelle vanilla extract, and water until a soft dough forms. Press the dough into a 9″ tart pan using damp hands or a spatula, and prick the base all over with a fork. Bake the gluten-free tart crust at 350°F for 15–18 minutes, or until golden on the edges. Let it cool completely before adding your mango tart filling.

Make the Mango Filling

To prepare the mango tart filling, whisk together soy milk, orange juice, vanilla, tapioca flour, agar agar, and maple syrup in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and starts to bubble—about 3–5 minutes. Stir in St. Dalfour Mango Passionfruit Jam and cook for 30 seconds more. Pour the filling into your pre-baked almond flour tart crust and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to set. For a firmer gluten-free mango tart, chill it in the freezer first, then move it to the fridge before serving.

How to Decorate the Tart

You can really decorate this vegan mango tart however your heart desires, but if you want to maximize the mango vibes, try making a mango flower like I did. Thinly slice ripe mangoes and begin layering them in a spiral from the outer edge of the tart, slightly overlapping each piece to create a floral pattern. Work your way inward to form a rose-like center. For a more relaxed look, scatter chopped mango on top. Garnish with edible flowers, toasted coconut flakes, or a drizzle of extra mango jam. Chill until ready to serve for the best flavor and texture!

How to Store the Tart

If you actually happen to have leftovers of this tart, you can store it in the fridge, covered, for up to 4 days. For longer storage, keep it in the freezer for up to a month—just let it thaw slightly before serving for the perfect texture.

Why You’ll Love This Gluten Free Mango Tart

This gluten free mango tart checks every box—it’s vegan, dairy-free, and made without refined sugar, using only maple syrup and fruit-sweetened jam for natural sweetness. The crust is crafted from wholesome pantry staples like almond flour and tapioca, and the result is a bakery-worthy dessert that’s surprisingly easy to make. This Mango Tart recipe is perfect for hosting friends or family in a summer party, planning a brunch, or celebrating a birthday! It’s a total show stopper and jaw dropper you don’t want to skip this recipe! Guaranteed, everyone will be requesting this again.

Tips for Making This Gluten Free Mango Tart

  • Use ripe, firm mangoes for clean slices and best flavor.
  • Chill thoroughly before slicing to ensure the custard sets properly.
  • Customize the crust by adding shredded coconut or a pinch of cardamom.
  • Try different shapes—make minis in tartlet pans or a rustic galette version.

Gluten Free Mango Tart FAQ

Can I use a different fruit instead of mango? Yes! Peaches, nectarines, pineapple or whatever fruit you desire would work beautifully. Just slice thinly and arrange similarly.

Can I use a different milk? Any unsweetened plant milk will work—soy, oat, almond, or coconut.

What’s a substitute for agar agar? You can try more tapioca flour or cornstarch, but the texture may be softer. Agar agar provides the firmest set that is pretty unbeatable when making a vegan custard.

Can I make this ahead of time? Absolutely. Make the tart the day before and store it in the fridge until ready to serve.
