Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).
In a bowl, mix together almond flour, melted butter, and powdered sugar. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from oven and let it cool completely.
In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin powder over cold water and let it bloom for about 5 minutes.
Transfer the fresh mango purée to a saucepan, add the granulated sugar, and heat over medium-low heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is warm, but not boiling.
Add the bloomed gelatin to the mango mixture and stir until the gelatin is completely melted and incorporated. Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled mango-gelatin mixture, combining thoroughly to avoid deflating the whipped cream.
Pour the mango mousse over the cooled almond crust, smoothing the top with a spatula for an even layer.
Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until set.
Once the mousse has set, gently remove the cake from the springform pan and transfer to a serving platter.
Garnish the top of the mousse cake with fresh mango slices before serving.
