3largemangoesmust be sweet, I used Kesar mangoes and this made 1&1/2 cups mango puree
8ozmascarpone cheese226 grams
5-6tablespoonspowdered sugaralso known as confectioners sugar
1cupheavy cream8 oz/240 ml
1cupwater
¼teaspooncardamom powder
16rusksI used suji rusks but you can use biscoff in place or traditional lady fingers cookies
mint leavesfor garnish
fresh mango cubesfor garnish
Instructions
Scoop out the pulp from 3 kesar mangoes and add it to a blender. Blend until you have smooth mango puree. You would get 1&1/2 cups of mango puree from this. Set this aside.
Then add mascarpone cheese to your stand mixer along with powdered sugar and beat using the wire whisk attachment for 2 minutes until it's smooth. Add 1 cup of the prepared mango puree and mix until everything is well combined.
Now, add the heavy cream and beat on medium speed for 2 minutes until you get stiff peaks (stiff enough for it to be pipable).
To soak the rusks, combine 1 cup water with 1/4 cup mango puree and little bit of cardamom powder. Combine everything using a wire whisk. Dip the rusk in the mixture from one side for 20 seconds and then flip and dip the other side.
Dip all the rusks similarly and arrange them at the bottom of an 8-inch square pan. Top with half of the mango-mascarpone mix. Then from the remaining 1/4 cup of mango puree, add 2 tablespoons on top and make a swirling pattern using a toothpick. Repeat the layers: another layer of 8 rusks > mango mascarpone mixture > 2 tablespoons of mango puree.
While doing the second layer of the mascarpone mixture, reserve some if you wish to make a pretty design on top of your tiramisu. Transfer that to a piping bag fitted with a round tip and pipe it on top. This is optional. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and fresh mangoes before serving.
Notes
If the mascarpone mixture appears too thin to pipe, put it back in the mixer and beat using the wire whisk attachment until it become firm enough to pipe.
You can use lady fingers in place of rusks if you have them on hand.
Canned mango puree can be substituted in place of fresh. If the canned mango puree is too sweet, cut down on the sugar in the recipe.
