A classic French layer cake called Charlotte, with an exotic twist, with Mango fruit and Coconut mousse
About this recipe
A beautiful French Cake called "Charlotte"

Traditionally, this French Charlotte is made with pears, but I find that my version with coconut and mangoes more modern and more delicious

The combination mango and coconut works every time I bring this pastry to a party!

Origin of the recipe

Agenda

The Mango Jelly
1. Bloom the Gelatin (4 Gelatin Sheets) in cold water for 2 minutes while keeping the saucepan on low heat

11. Use a pastry ring, that needs to be tall (3.14" (or 3 5/32" or 8 cm))
