Transfer the mixture to a saucepan and cook on medium heat while whisking constantly until the mixture begins to thicken, then remove immediately from heat. Place the pan in cold water. Remove the vanilla pod. When the cream has cooled a little (to 60 C), stir in the butter and whisk until the butter is fully inserted and the cream is bright and shiny. Cover the pastry cream and let it cool.
13. Peel the mangos and cut them into thin slices. Layer the cooled pastry cream on the baked crust. Decorate with mango slices following the picture. Put the apricot jam and water in a small bowl and microwave until well dissolved, then brush gently the mango tart.
