Introduction

This Irresistible Tiramisu Mangue Passionfruit offers a fresh and tropical twist on the classic Italian dessert. Combining creamy mascarpone, juicy mango, and tangy passionfruit, it’s a perfect sweet escape for any occasion.

A clear glass cup contains three layers of bright yellow fruit pieces with black seeds, separated by two layers of smooth white cream. The top layer is piled high with more of the yellow fruit halves, dusted with a light brown powder. A single green leaf decorates the side. The glass is placed on a white plate with a light dusting of powder, and a halved yellow fruit rests beside it. The background shows soft, natural light with blurred plants, and the whole scene sits on a white marbled texture. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

2 large ripe mangoes (choose fresh, organic for the sweetest flavor and best texture)
4 passionfruit (halved, adds a burst of tangy goodness and crunchy seeds)
1 cup mascarpone cheese (provides a creamy base essential to any tiramisu)
1 cup heavy cream (whipped to peaks to create lightness in your dessert)
1/2 cup sugar (balances the tartness; feel free to use honey as a substitute)
24 pieces ladyfinger cookies (essential for layering; seek out the best quality for crispness)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (enhances the overall flavor; use pure extract for a more natural taste)
1 tablespoon lemon juice (brightens flavors; fresh-squeezed is the best choice)

Instructions

Step 1: Gather all your ingredients—ripe mangoes, passionfruit, mascarpone, and ladyfingers. This makes the process seamless and enjoyable!
Step 2: In a bowl, combine the diced mango and the pulp from the halved passionfruit. Stir gently to achieve a delightful balance of sweet and tart.
Step 3: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. This adds a light and airy texture, crucial for a dreamy dessert.
Step 4: Fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone cheese along with sugar and vanilla extract. Do this until smooth and creamy—this is your luxurious base!
Step 5: Dip each ladyfinger briefly in the passionfruit juice, then layer them at the bottom of your serving dish. Follow with a generous spread of the creamy mixture on top.
Step 6: Continue layering with ladyfingers and the cream mixture until you reach the top. Finish with the cream layer for a lovely presentation.
Step 7: Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully, creating heavenly layers of flavor.

Tips & Variations

Use honey instead of sugar for a natural sweetness that complements the tropical fruits.
Replace passionfruit with fresh orange or pineapple juice for a different tangy profile.
For an extra touch, sprinkle toasted coconut flakes on top before serving.
Make sure to dip ladyfingers briefly to avoid sogginess and maintain nice texture layers.

Storage

Store the tiramisu covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days for best freshness. When ready to serve, let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to soften slightly. Avoid freezing as it can affect the creamy texture negatively.

How to Serve

A clear glass dessert cup is filled with three visible layers: the bottom and middle layers are creamy white, smooth and thick, while the second and top layers consist of bright yellow passion fruit halves with black seeds, some glistening with juice. The top layer of passion fruit is sprinkled with a fine dusting of dark brown powder, likely cocoa or cinnamon. A fresh green leaf rests on the side of the glass, which is placed on a white plate with a textured surface that has a light dusting of white powder. Next to the glass on the plate is a halved passion fruit showing its seeds. The background is softly blurred with warm sunlight highlighting the dessert, on a white marbled texture surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I prepare this tiramisu in advance?

Yes, it’s actually best to prepare it at least 4 hours ahead, ideally overnight. This resting time allows the flavors to meld and the dessert to set perfectly.

What can I substitute for ladyfinger cookies?

If ladyfingers are not available, you can use sponge cake or pound cake slices lightly soaked in passionfruit juice as a delicious alternative.
