Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 16 oz (450g) mascarpone cheese
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups heavy cream or double cream
- 3/4 cup mango pulp
Layer
- 260 g Ladyfingers (enough to fill the dish)
- ⅔ cup mango pulp (for dipping)
Garnish
- 1/2 mango, sliced (for mango roses)
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
Instructions
- Prepare the mascarpone mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the mascarpone cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract for about one minute until smooth and creamy.
- Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, whisk the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold one-third of the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture, then gradually fold in the remaining whipped cream carefully to maintain the airy texture without overmixing.
- Add mango pulp to the filling: Pour ¾ cup of mango pulp into the mascarpone and cream mixture and fold gently to incorporate evenly. Set the filling aside.
- Prepare the ladyfinger layer: Pour the remaining ⅔ cup mango pulp into a shallow dish. If the pulp is thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of water to loosen it. Dip each ladyfinger into the mango pulp syrup for about ten seconds, ensuring they absorb some moisture but do not get soggy. Then arrange the soaked ladyfingers in a single layer at the bottom of your serving dish.
- Assemble the tiramisu layers: Spread half of the mango mascarpone filling evenly over the first layer of ladyfingers. Add another layer of dipped ladyfingers on top, followed by the remaining mascarpone filling. Smooth the surface carefully.
- Chill the tiramisu: Cover the assembled dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or preferably overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set perfectly.
- Garnish and serve: Just before serving, pour the remaining mango pulp evenly over the top layer of tiramisu and smooth it out. Decorate the corner of the dish with artistic mango roses made from sliced mango and garnish with fresh mint leaves for a visually stunning presentation. Serve chilled and enjoy!
Notes
- For best results, make the tiramisu a day ahead to allow flavors to develop fully.
- If mango pulp is too thick, thin with water to ensure ladyfingers absorb the syrup easily.
- Use ripe, sweet mangoes for perfect sweetness and vibrant flavor.
- Adjust sugar according to the sweetness of your mango pulp.
- Keep all components chilled before assembling to maintain creaminess and consistency.
- Ladyfingers can be substituted with sponge cake strips if preferred.
