Mango Custard Tart

As i continue to enter dessert recipes from our recent cruise, i am seeing a definite & freq trend for make-ahead combos using fruits w/a custard. This recipe from *carnival creations* by cyrus marfatia (exec chef of carnival cruise lines) takes us to the far-eastern cuisines of india, malaysia & thailand. Altho the recipe suggests the french influence of napoleon brandy, my dh would look upon that as a sinful waste" & i will use a more std cooking brandy. (times have been estimated & do not include cooling times) *enjoy* !"!
