Gourmet charlotte with mango and custard

This charlotte has no dough, apples, and you don't even need to bake it. But if you remember that once charlotte was made with custard, apples and liqueur, and theoretically, instead of apples, any fruit can be used, then here is a wonderful recipe for charlotte with mango and custard. If you want to prepare such beauty for a children's party, replace cognac with fruit syrup.

Gourmet charlotte with mango and custard
Ingredients
  • 600 g very ripe mango
  • 35–45 savoyardi cookies
  • berries for decoration
  • 200 ml cold water
  • 250 ml cream, 10-11% fat
  • 300 ml cream with a fat content of 30%
  • 60 g cornstarch
  • 125 g of sugar
  • 6 egg yolks
  • 30 g butter
  • peel 2 limes
  • 100 ml brandy
  • juice of 2 limes
  • 120 g of sugar

STEP-BY-STEP COOKING RECIPE

Step 1
For the cream, combine both types of cream with the zest in a saucepan with a thick bottom, heat over low heat to almost boil. Remove from heat and leave for 15 minutes. Whisk the egg yolks with a whisk to white in a bowl, add the starch, and rub again.
Step 2
While continuing to stir, pour in the creamy milk mixture in a thin stream. Put the cream on low heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the cream thickens: if you dip the back of a spoon into it and run your finger over it, the edges of the strip remain clear. Let the cream cool, 15 minutes, add soft butter and stir.
Step 3
Peel the mango, cut from the stone. Cut 250 g of pulp into cubes with a side of 1.5 cm, beat the rest of the pulp with a blender in mashed potatoes. Combine custard with mashed potatoes and mango chunks. Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes.
Step 4
For syrup, combine all ingredients with cold water and bring to a boil. Cook until sugar dissolves, then cool.
Step 5
Line a 25 cm split mold with foil so that the edges of the foil hang down. Lubricate the bottom around the edges with cream.
Step 6
Pour the syrup into a flat container. Very quickly, dip the smooth side of the biscuits in the syrup and place them vertically in the pan with the sugar side facing the rim. Place the next cookie close to the previous one - until you get a solid "fence" of savoyardi.
Step 7
Place the mango cream in a mold and flatten. Place the charlotte in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours. When serving, unbutton the baking dish, peel off the foil, very carefully transfer the charlotte to a dish and garnish with berries.
