- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for approximately 30 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and allow the crust to cool completely.
- Blend the chopped mangoes, sweetened condensed milk, and lemon juice in a blender until the cream is perfectly smooth.
- Pour the mixture into a mixing bowl.
- Dissolve the gelatin powder with 2 tablespoons of water using a double boiler or the microwave.
