    This was ok but i don't think that i would do it again. I'm not sure about baking the base - it made it quite soggy & i felt it was unnecessary. Also, I could hardly taste the mango in the torte & I used 2 mangoes. I also added more gelatine than the recipe suggested.

    I also found this tasteless and wouldn't make it again. I did folow the instructions and use a ripe mango but could hardly taste it. Fortunately I had made a strawberry and Creme de Casis coulis to pour over it and saved the day!
