4. Sprinkle gelatine over water in a jug and whisk vigorously with a fork to dissolve. Cool slightly.

5. Beat gelatine into cream cheese mixture. Gently fold in mango. Pour into biscuit base. Cover and chill overnight.

6. When ready to serve, release from pan and remove paper. Top with extra mango slices. Serve with softly whipped cream.
