Ingredients
  

Mango Components
  • 2 large ripe mangoes, peeled and diced Opt for ripe, fragrant mangoes for maximum sweetness.
  • 1 cup mango puree (from one of the diced mangoes) Ensure it's sweet enough; add sugar if needed.
Cream Mixture
  • 1 cup full-fat coconut milk Use brands like Thai Kitchen or Aroy-D for the best results.
  • 250 g mascarpone cheese Always use high-quality for the best flavor.
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream This should be very cold for better whipping.
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Final Assembly
  • 1 cup shredded coconut Toasted if preferred, for extra flavor.
  • 1 package ladyfinger biscuits Savoiardi works best.
  • 2–3 tablespoons sugar Optional, depending on the sweetness of your mangoes.

Method
 

Preparation of Mango Components
  1. Blend one of the mangoes into a smooth puree. If it’s not sweet enough, add a tablespoon or two of sugar until it reaches your preferred sweetness. Set the puree aside.
  2. Dice the second mango into small cubes to add texture.
Mix Soaking Liquid
  1. In a shallow bowl, combine the full-fat coconut milk with a few tablespoons of the mango puree. Stir gently to combine.
Prepare Cream Mixture
  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form (about 3-5 minutes).
  2. In another bowl, combine mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy (about 1-2 minutes).
  3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture in two additions, using a spatula.
Assemble the Tiramisu
  1. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coconut-mango mixture for a second or two to absorb liquid but avoid sogginess.
  2. In your serving dish, arrange a single layer of soaked ladyfingers, then spread a generous layer of the mascarpone cream on top.
  3. Spoon half of the mango puree over the cream layer, then sprinkle with diced mango and coconut.
  4. Repeat the layering process with soaked ladyfingers, mascarpone cream, mango puree, diced mango, and coconut until your dish is filled.
  5. Smooth the top layer and garnish with coconut and extra mango cubes. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.

Notes

For an even creamier texture, let mascarpone come to room temperature before mixing. Feel free to make ahead and store for up to 3 days in the fridge.
