  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!

  To make this base, you only need 30g of butter to 100g digestives; this is far too much butter, and you don't need the caster sugar. The easiest thing to do, is melt the butter, mix it with the crushed biscuits, press into the base of spring form cake tin or rosti ring, and refrigerate for 10mins to firm. I agree with Jilly that this was tasteless and the coulis saved the day ;o) The other problem I had was that I am vegetarian, and use Dr. Oetker's vege gel (powder), so I had to figure out how many teaspoons of the powder to use per three leaves of gelatine; either I didn't use enough or this recipe requires more leaf gelatine. The rest of my mangoes ...I used to make a curry which was much nicer ;o) Thank you Madhur Jaffrey.

  I churned my torta in the Magimix ice cream machine with balsamic strawberries and made a beautiful ice cream from it instead!

  I made this recipe exactly how it was written except for the gelatine, I used powedered gelatine in a sachet (about 1 and 1/2 sachet). What a disappointment. I used 2 medium mangoes which tasted very nice but you could not taste the mango in the finished product. Tasteless, if it was not for the coulis. There is too much butter in the base. Will not do again. I thought the recipes on this website could be trusted?
