How to Make Fresh Mango Tiramisu
Step 1: Prepare the Mango Mixture
Blend half of the Malda Mango into a smooth puree. Mix it with the orange juice and lemon juice. Reserve the remaining diced mangoes for layering.
Step 2: Prepare the Mascarpone Cream
In a large bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese until smooth.
In another chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
Fold the whipped cream gently into the mascarpone until light, airy, and fully combined.
Step 3: Soak the Ladyfingers
Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the fresh mango juice. Do not soak them for too long, as they can become overly soft.
Arrange a single layer of soaked biscuits in the bottom of your serving dish.
Step 4: Assemble the Tiramisu
Layer the dessert in the following order:
Soaked ladyfingers
Mascarpone cream
Mango puree
Fresh diced mangoes
Repeat the layers until all the ingredients are used, finishing with the mascarpone cream.
Step 5: Chill
Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the layers to set and the flavors to blend.
Step 6: Garnish and Serve
Before serving, decorate with fresh mango cubes, mango slices, white chocolate curls, chopped pistachios, and mint leaves.
Serve chilled.
