Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 250 grams (8.8 ounces) mascarpone cheese
- 200 grams (7.1 ounces) ladyfinger cookies
- 1 mango, peeled and diced
- 2 passion fruits, pulp removed
Dairy and Sweeteners:
- 300 milliliters (10.1 fluid ounces) heavy cream
- 100 grams (3.5 ounces) sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Liquid Ingredients:
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) strong coffee, cooled
Instructions
- Prepare the mascarpone base by whisking mascarpone cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until achieving a silky, uniform consistency.
- Using a separate mixing bowl, whip heavy cream until it forms stiff, glossy peaks that hold their shape.
- Delicately incorporate the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture, folding gently to maintain the airy texture without deflating the cream.
- Quickly dunk ladyfinger cookies into cooled coffee, ensuring they are lightly soaked but not saturated, and create an even layer in the serving dish.
- Carefully spread a generous layer of the mascarpone cream over the coffee-moistened ladyfingers, creating a smooth surface.
- Distribute fresh diced mango and vibrant passion fruit pulp evenly across the mascarpone layer, adding tropical brightness and texture.
- Repeat the layering process, alternating between soaked ladyfingers, mascarpone cream, and tropical fruit until the dish is filled.
- Complete the dessert with a final luxurious layer of mascarpone cream, ensuring an elegant, smooth top.
- Chill the tiramisu in the refrigerator for a minimum of 4 hours, preferably overnight, allowing the flavors to harmonize and the dessert to set perfectly.
- Before serving, garnish with additional passion fruit pulp or mango slices to enhance the tropical presentation and provide extra burst of flavor.
Notes
- Elevate the mascarpone mixture’s texture by ensuring all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing, preventing lumps and creating a silky smooth consistency.
- Enhance the tropical flavor profile by briefly macerating diced mango with a touch of lime juice, which brightens the fruit’s natural sweetness and adds a subtle tangy undertone.
- Optimize the ladyfinger soaking technique by quickly dipping them in coffee to prevent oversaturation, maintaining the dessert’s ideal structural integrity and preventing a soggy base.
- Accommodate dairy-free diets by substituting mascarpone with coconut cream and using whipped coconut milk as an alternative to heavy cream, preserving the dessert’s luxurious tropical essence.
