You might remember the French tart I tried to make here on Mother’s Day, & it didn’t oblige at all. I admonished the misbehaving tart shell, & it cooled it’s heels in the fridge for 2 days, while I tried to figure out how best to resurrect it. 
1 tart shell
1/4 cup cold milk
1 1/2 tsp gelatin
2 medium mangoes; pureed
3 tbsps vanilla sugar
100ml low-fat cream
75gms dark chocolate; melted in the microwave or double boiler
1 tart shell
1/4 cup cold milk
1 1/2 tsp gelatin
2 medium mangoes; pureed
3 tbsps vanilla sugar
100ml low-fat cream
75gms dark chocolate; melted in the microwave or double boiler
-
Sprinkle the gelatin over the cold milk. Place the bowl over hot water till the gelatin dissolves & becomes a clear liquid.
-
Melt the dark chocolate & mix in 2 tbsps of cream to form a thick ganache.
-
Whip the rest of the cream till it holds stiff peaks.
-
Puree the mangoes & vanilla sugar with an immersion blender, then pour in the liquid gelatin mixture & run the blender again to mix thoroughly. (Reserve 1-2 tbsps of this in a baggie for marbling on top if you like)
-
Take 2 tbsps of the mango puree-gelatin mixture & fold it lightly into the whipped cream to loosen it a bit, & then fold the cream mixture through the remaining mango-gelatin mixture, lightly but uniformly.
-
Paint the tart shell with the thick chocolate ganache, & pour the mousse over it, gently spreading it around.
-
Chill for half an hour, then marble the top with the reserved mango puree if you like. Leave to set for at least 6-7 hours, or better, overnight.

Slice & serve.

This looks so AMAZING. Mango… Good! Chocolate… Good!! I just wish I could have a bite! You are an artist with food!
That is a great save! I would probably have tossed the pastry crust into the bin and started again. This is proof that chocolate can fix anything!

Whatever you did to save this mango mousse tart, you did it in style. Homestly, if you lived in Goa you would see me alot (perhaps too much for your liking!). 😉
