Mango tiramisu or also called ‘Mangomisu’ is a delightful twist on the classic Italian dessert, substituting traditional coffee-soaked ladyfingers with layers of orange soaked ladyfingers, ripe mango pulp and a creamy mascarpone mixture. The dessert typically includes layers of Orange soaked ladyfingers, mango puree, followed by a creamy mixture of mascarpone cheese, whipped cream, and sometimes a hint of rum or other flavorings. Chilled before serving, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully. Garnished with additional mango slices adds a finishing touch to this tropical treat.
Assembling Mango Tiramisu (Mangomisu)
Here’s how to assemble the delicious mango tiramisu:
- Prepare the Mangoes: Peel and slice one ripe mango. Puree the other mangos until smooth. Set aside.
- Prepare the Mascarpone Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar (adjust to taste), vanilla extract, and some rum (optional). Mix until smooth.
- Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Combine Mascarpone and Cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until well combined.
- Prepare the Ladyfingers: Dip each ladyfinger biscuit into the Orange juice + rum mixture, ensuring they are evenly dipped but not soggy.
- Assemble the Layers: Arrange a layer of dipped ladyfingers at the bottom of your serving dish. Spread a layer of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers. Spread a layer of pureed mangoes on top of the mascarpone mixture.
- Repeat Layers: Repeat the layers until you’ve used up all the ingredients, ending with a layer of mascarpone mixture on top.
- Chill: Cover the mango tiramisu and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
- Garnish: Before serving, place the sliced mangoes on top or dust the top with cocoa powder or grated chocolate for a finishing touch.
Feel free to get creative with the presentation and adjust the recipe to suit your taste preferences. Enjoy!
Mango and Orange together?
I wasn’t very sure of this combination when I thought about it, BUT Mango and Orange are a tropical treat. Orange supports and enhances the flavour of mango in the dessert. So, don’t be afraid to use them together – fun, smooth and citrusy.
Storing
It is essential to store Mango tiramisu in an airtight container to maintain its freshness and prevent absorption of other food odors in the refrigerator
