--- KcalA zingy no-bake tart with a temptingly crunchy base and tropical mango and lime filling
Ingredients
Base
- 200g ginger nut biscuits
- 80g unsalted butter, melted
Filling
- 3 gelatine leaves (you will need platinum grade ones – I used Dr Oetker)
- 1 large ripe mango (~450g pulp)
- Juice and zest of 2 limes
- 50g caster sugar
- 250ml double cream
Directions
- Put the ginger nuts in a food processor and blitz until fine. Tip into a bowl and add the melted butter, mixing until evenly coated. Pour the mixture into a fluted 23cm tart tin, and press evenly into the base and up the sides. Chill in the fridge for 20 minutes while you make the filling.
- Put the gelatine sheets into a small bowl of cold water and set aside.
- Peel and chop the mango. Put it into a food processor along with the lime juice, and blitz smooth. Pass through a fine sieve.
- Add the mango puree (tinned or fresh), sugar (and lime juice if using tinned, as you won’t have used it yet) to a small saucepan and heat until the sugar dissolves. Let it simmer for three to five minutes, then remove from the heat and leave to cool a little. Squeeze the gelatine leaves to remove any excess water and add them to the mango, stirring to dissolve.
- In a separate bowl, whip the cream to soft peaks. Add a quarter of the cream into the mango, and mix to combine. Gently fold in the rest of the cream and then pour this into the tart case.
- Chill in the fridge for four to six hours or until completely set. Top with lime zest before serving.
