Mango Tart with Ginger Biscuit Crust

Made this mango tart with the last mangoes of the season. Instead of the regular Marie biscuit base I used Ginger biscuits this time and it was a really good decision! We really liked the combination. If you don’t like ginger biscuits use any other tea biscuits for the base. To maintain the freshness of the mangoes you can bake the base and the filling a day ahead and add mango pieces and whipped cream decoration just before serving.
