This recipe appears in my second hardcover cookbook, Keeping it Simple, and truly is simple. Trust me. Get the crepes done (the hardest part) and you are practically a genius! An easy and elegant dessert with amazing presentation. Use the most perfect mangoes you can find and you will be amazed at how beautiful this can look. Did I mention it tastes pretty all right as well? Thank you Tenina...(I can’t hear you!)

You need a springform tin that is slightly smaller than the size of the pan you use to cook the crepes. Smaller is better on this occasion as you will get a higher more impressive torte if the circumference is smaller.
