Stir mascarpone, sugar and vanillin sugar until smooth. Stir in sour cream. Dissolve squeezed out gelatine in a small pot. Stir in 3 tablespoons of cream, then stir into the remaining cream. Halve the cream and mix one half with liqueur. Put the white cream and mint cream alternately into the tart and marble with a fork. Chill the tarte for at least 3 hours.
