Ingredients

Scale

Fruits

  • 2 large ripe mangoes (fresh and organic preferred)
  • 4 passionfruit (halved)

Dairy

  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Other

  • 1/2 cup sugar (can substitute with honey)
  • 24 pieces ladyfinger cookies
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (pure extract preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (fresh-squeezed preferred)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients—ripe mangoes, passionfruit, mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and ladyfinger cookies—to streamline the cooking and assembling process.
  2. Mix Fruits: Dice the mangoes and scoop out the pulp from the halved passionfruits. In a bowl, gently stir these together to create a balanced sweet and tart fruit mixture.
  3. Whip Cream: In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. This will give the dessert its light and airy texture crucial for creamy layers.
  4. Make Cream Base: Fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone cheese along with sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Mix carefully until smooth and creamy to form the luscious tiramisu base.
  5. Soak Ladyfingers: Briefly dip each ladyfinger into the passionfruit juice extracted from the halved passionfruits. Quickly soak to prevent sogginess, then layer them at the bottom of your serving dish.
  6. Assemble Layers: Spread a generous layer of the mascarpone and cream mixture over the ladyfingers. Continue layering ladyfingers and cream mixture alternately until you reach the top, finishing with a layer of cream for an elegant finish.
  7. Chill: Cover the assembled tiramisu with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. This chilling time allows all flavors to meld beautifully and the dessert to firm up for perfect slices.

Notes

  • Use ripe, organic mangoes for the best natural sweetness and texture.
  • Fresh passionfruit juice is essential for the perfect tartness and flavor; avoid artificial juice substitutes.
  • Dip ladyfingers briefly to avoid overly soggy layers which can affect texture.
  • Chilling overnight enhances the flavor melding and texture of the tiramisu.
  • Substitute sugar with honey for a natural sweetener alternative.
  • Ensure heavy cream is cold before whipping for better volume and stability.
