– 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and sliced
– 2 passionfruit, halved and pulp scooped out
– 1 cup mascarpone cheese
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1/2 cup powdered sugar
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– 1 package of ladyfinger biscuits (savoiardi)
– 1 cup mango juice (for soaking)
– Mango slices and passionfruit pulp for garnish
1. In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
2. Gently fold in the mascarpone cheese until well combined and creamy.
3. Prepare a shallow dish with mango juice. Quickly dip each ladyfinger in the juice—just a mere dip; we don’t want them soggy!
4. Layer the soaked ladyfingers at the bottom of a rectangular dish.
5. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers, then add a layer of sliced mangoes and some passionfruit pulp.
6. Repeat the layers with the remaining ladyfingers, mascarpone mixture, and finish it off with a beautiful layer of mango and passionfruit on top.
7. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or, for best results, overnight. Patience is key!
8. Serve chilled, garnished with extra mango slices and passionfruit pulp for that gorgeous pop!
