About Charlotte
A charlotte is a type of dessert. It is a molded tart filled with cooled custard or mousse, usually fruit-flavoured (often apple, pear, or raspberry). The filling is often covered with a thin layer of similarly flavoured gelatin. The crust lining is made with ladyfinger cookies or with sponge cake. This is the more type of frozen Charlotte.
