Today marks an important event in the Islamic calendar. The Eid festival. Happy Eid to everyone who observes it!
This weekend also marks the 6th anniversary of my favourite blogging event, Weekend Herb Blogging! WHB must be one of the oldest food blogging events that are still running strong. Huge congrats to Kalyn who founded the event, and Haalo, who has been taking care of the event for the past few years.
A lot of reasons to celebrate, and I have turned to a rich, luxurious dessert which features mangoes, which are in season in Australia at the moment. The dish puts a spin on the much loved tiramisu, focusing on fresher and fruitier flavours. A perfect summer dessert!
Mangomisu
I´ve adapted the original recipe in Delicious magazine to be more children friendly! The original recipe said this serves 6. But I have served 8-10 with it and it´s plentiful.
Ingredients
500g mascarpone cheese
600ml thickened cream
80g castor sugar
1 vanilla bean, split, seeds scraped
300ml unsweetened orange juice
300g savoiardi (sponge finger biscuits)
3-4 ripe mangoes, flesh sliced 1cm thick
2 handfuls of dessicated coconut
Method
Place the mascarpone, thickened cream,sugar and vanilla seeds in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat on high speed until thick and well combined.
Dip half the sponge fingers into the orange juice and layer in the base of a large glass bowl. Spread with one-third of the mascarpone mixture, and top with one-third of the mango slices. Repeat the process, then top with the remaining mascarpone mixture. Top with the remaining mango slices and sprinkle with the coconut. Cover the cake and chill for 2 hours or until firm.
Serve chilled.
mmm mangos are a sign of summer! your mangomisu looks fabulous!
I remember noticing this on Twitter! So fresh and luxurious…
I love this dessert from Delicious, Ahn. I have made it myself several times and everyone goes crazy over it.
It looks divine!
Your little bloom is so sweet:) Is it a poppy or a calendula?:)Looks great w/ the dish:)
I love how mangoes are coming back into season, they are one of the fruits I miss the most during the colder season. I like incorporating mangoes into desserts and liked how you did so for the tiramisu yum!
Happy Eid Anh!
I love the name of this dessert. Mangomisu sounds cool! Lovely clicks too!
Eid Mubarak again! Anything mango is one of my fav- the mascarpone & mango slices make it is die for dessert for me..cant wait for summers now!
I agree Ann. The name important. It builds a character for the food.
Hi Monique (aka La Table De Nana!), it's poppy. Lovely, huh?
This dessert is really perfect for a festive occasion. Start the holidays with a sweet mango treat and it will really be a blast! Love the combination and the coined name is very catchy too. I like it!
Eid Mubarak, Anh! Wishing health + prosperity to you, your family and friends.
hi anh, I love tiramisu and has tasted so many fruity version of tiramisu. Its so refreshing and yes, its mango season here. I should do something with my mangoes, thanks for the inspiration!
Looks delicious and makes me long for summer. It's a cold day in Seattle today!
Eid Mubarak Anh…
Definitely a beautiful summer dish on those hot days! I would be thinking about this to reward myself after a run on the beach.
That is definitely the perfect summer dessert. Happy Eid, Anh
It is a beautiful dessert with the mangoes laying on the pillows of goodness. Our mangoes here in Florida are usually in full season toward the end of summer…or at least my mango tree is, but I have to fight the squirrels for them.
What a great twist on a classic! Happy Eid Anh….thought I left a comment here but don't see it……Am I going crazy?!
Eid Mubarak, Anh! Lovely dessert!
Brilliant, Anh! I can almost taste the mangoes cutting through the richness of the cheese and cream….yum!
That's a great refreshing take on a classic! Great job
Looks like an wholesome dessert!

My boy has been begging me to make this since I made it last year! I'm waiting for my box of mangoes next month before I do it!… or if I get some cheapies from the market this weekend
Mangoes and marscapone and coconut and cream – what a great dessert and yours looks awesome.
You are so creative and make me wonder how it's like with mango! Yum! I wish summer is coming again here… it's so cold….brrr…

We are getting mangoes in this part of Asia as well. Been eating them fresh but have thought of making a dessert with them too! Guess you just reminded me. 😛
It looks divine, just what I would love to eat right now but alas, no good mangoes around here.
It may not be summer here, but mangoes will always be a welcome treat at my house. Wonderful photos of your, cleverly named, Mangomisu!
