# How to Make It:
01 -
Preheat oven to 350°F. In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, powdered sugar, and salt. Cut in cold butter until mixture becomes crumbly. Add egg yolk, heavy cream, and vanilla extract, then mix until dough comes together. Press evenly into a lined 8x8-inch baking pan. Bake for 18–20 minutes until lightly golden.

Sprinkle unflavored gelatin over cold water in a small bowl and allow to bloom for 5 minutes. In a large bowl, beat softened butter and granulated sugar until pale and fluffy. Add egg yolks one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Gently melt bloomed gelatin until dissolved, then fold into egg yolk mixture.

Pour mango filling over cooled crust and smooth the top. Drop spoonfuls of raspberry jam over the surface and use a skewer or knife to swirl decoratively through the mango layer.

Return pan to oven and bake at 325°F for 18–22 minutes, just until the center is set. Remove and cool completely, then refrigerate at least 2 hours before slicing.
