Mango Tiramisu Recipe – A Tropical, No-Bake Delight

Introduction: My Mango Tiramisu Experience

I remember the first time I tried making Mango Tiramisu—it was an absolute game-changer. I’ve always loved the creamy, coffee-infused layers of traditional tiramisu, but I wanted something fruitier, lighter, and perfect for summer. That’s when the idea of adding fresh mangoes came to mind.

The result? A lusciously creamy, tangy, and slightly sweet dessert that melts in your mouth. Instead of espresso, ladyfingers are soaked in a refreshing mango purée, while the mascarpone filling remains rich and velvety. The natural sweetness of mangoes eliminates the need for excessive sugar, making it a guilt-free indulgence.

If you’re a mango lover, this recipe is for you. It’s simple, requires no baking, and comes together in under 30 minutes—the hardest part is waiting for it to set! Ready to make your own? Let’s dive in.

• 1 cup heavy whipping cream

Step-by-Step Guide to Making Mango Tiramisu

Step 1: Prepare the Mango Purée

1. Peel and cut the mangoes into chunks.
2. Blend them in a food processor until smooth.
3. Add lemon or lime juice to enhance the flavor.
4. If the purée is too thick, add a splash of mango juice or water.
5. Strain the purée for a silkier texture (optional).

💡 Pro Tip: Use ripe, sweet mangoes for a naturally vibrant and delicious purée.

Step 2: Make the Mascarpone Cream Filling

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk mascarpone cheese and sugar until smooth.
2. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until it forms soft peaks.
3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture.
4. Add vanilla extract for a deeper flavor.

💡 Pro Tip: Do not overmix the mascarpone, as it can become too runny. Keep it light and fluffy.

Step 3: Prepare the Ladyfingers

1. Pour mango purée or juice into a shallow dish.
2. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the mango mixture (1-2 seconds max).
3. Arrange a layer of dipped ladyfingers in a serving dish.

💡 Pro Tip: Don’t soak the ladyfingers for too long, or they’ll become mushy!

Step 4: Assemble the Layers

1. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the first layer of ladyfingers.
2. Add another layer of dipped ladyfingers on top.
3. Spread the remaining mascarpone mixture evenly.

💡 Pro Tip: Smooth out each layer with a spatula for a professional look.

Step 5: Chill & Serve

1. Cover the dish with plastic wrap.
2. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight for the best results).
3. Before serving, garnish with fresh mango slices, mint leaves, or coconut flakes.
4. Slice, serve chilled, and enjoy!

💡 Pro Tip: The longer it sits, the better the flavors meld together!
