Mango mousse cake!!

When u have a grown up daughter then you can take rest from the kitchen every now and then...but when you have an enthusiastic daughter like mine then...with rest every second day is a party. My daughter Siya has completely given me retirement from the dessert making part in our house...may it be any dinner party or regular sweet dish requirement in our home its her department and responsibility now. She decides by herself and takes charge of the cakes that we make and this mango mousse cake was the latest beauty she had created.
Not only it looked pretty but tasted better than it looked,such a proud mother I am .(believe me I was no way near her talent when I was her age🙈)
Coming to the recipe its super easy and quick to make(I saw her making it) but takes a bit of time to set in the refrigerator.
Ingredients :
3 cups mango pulp
200 ml condensed milk
250 ml whipped cream
4 tbsp gelatin
Sponge vanilla fingers/biscuits
Mango pieces for decoration
METHOD :
Mix the gelatin in a cup with very little water and keep aside. Then in a mixer add fresh mango puree and condensed milk for 2 mins...then add gelatin to it  and mix in the mixer  for atleast 3 more mins and keep aside the mixer jug .
In a separate big bowl whip the whipping cream and then slowly fold in the mango and condensed milk mixture making sure that the aeration in the cream is not lost.
Line a cake tin with parchment sheet and then make the border of biscuits like in the picture and then line a layer of biscuits in the bottom too covering the whole space pour half the mango mixture to it now lightly put another layer of biscuits over it and then pour the remaining mixture over it and smoothen out the top with a spatula...pat the tin lightly if required to remove air bubbles, and keep in the refrigerator for atleast 3 hours to set like cake .
Serve chilled.
PS: its a very lightly sweetened dessert,however if u wish to make it sweeter which before setting u can taste then just add maybe 50 ml of condensed milk to it.
Secondly u can layer and set it in a glass dish or a glass too...looks pretty anyways !!
