Step 1
Melt the 1/2 cup butter and mix with the 1.5 cups crushed cookies. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Chill for 15 minutes.
Step 2
Bloom the 2 tbsp gelatin in the 1/4 cup water for 5 minutes. Gently heat until dissolved, then cool slightly.
Step 3
Whip the 1 cup heavy cream with the 1/2 cup sugar until soft peaks form. Fold in 1.5 cups of the mango puree and the dissolved gelatin.
Step 4
Pour the mousse over the crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, until set.
Step 5
Warm the remaining 1/2 cup mango puree with the 1/2 cup white chocolate until smooth. Cool to room temperature.
Step 6
Pour the glaze over the set mousse and tilt to cover evenly. Chill for 30 minutes until the glaze is set.
Step 7
Run a knife around the edge, release the springform, and serve chilled.
