Mango Mousse Tart! A fruity, creamy and delicious combination of mangoes and a biscuit crust that's absolutely mango-licious and its no bake and no cook too
Break the biscuits/crackers, add them to a blender or a food processor and blend until fine crumbs. Mix melted butter with the biscuit crumbs to a wet sand like consistency (add more butter if crumbs are too dry)
Evenly press the biscuit mixture to bottom of the tart pan covering the bottom and up to the sides. Refrigerate it until further use.
Peel and chop around 2 mangoes. Blend into a smooth paste using a blender. Now add sugar and lemon juice to the mango puree
In a small bowl add water and microwave for 20 seconds, add gelatin powder to it. Mix and dissolve completely. Now add gelatin to the prepared mango puree, mix and refrigerate for 30 minutes
Whisk the cream and 2 Tbsp castor sugar, until it forms soft peaks. Add the mango mixture to a bowl and fold the cream to it gently until its mixed well and no cream/ mango streaks are seen
For the mango topping, peel 2 mangoes or more to cover the entire tart, make two large slices as close to the pit as possible. Then cut very thin mango slices length wise
The tart should be set by now. Add mango mousse to the center of the set tart crust and then begin to spread out evenly across surface, leaving a small perimeter around the crust untouched by mango mousse
Line the sides of the crust with mango slices, letting the edges slightly overlap so that the slices stand up and stay curved. Then start the next row of mangoes, placing mango slices in the spots in between two mango slices from the previous outer row. This overlapping pattern will make a rose like pattern
For the center simply roll up a mango slice and form the center of a rose. Squeeze some lemon juice on the top mango slices to prevent oxidation of mangoes
Refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours or more to set it completely.Serve chilled
Notes
Mousse can be prepared without gelatin as well. For a Gelatin free version you can use china grass (agar-agar) or can completely avoid using it You can use store bought canned mango puree instead of making your own
