Fruits:
- 2 ripe mangoes (peeled and diced)
- 1 cup mango puree
- Fresh mango slices for garnish
Dairy and Cream Components:
- 16 ounces (454 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- Whipped cream for garnish
Additional Ingredients:
- 1 package (10-12 ounces/283-340 grams) ladyfinger cookies or sponge cake, cut into cubes
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Create a silky mango puree by blending one diced mango with lemon juice until perfectly smooth, then set aside at room temperature.
- Whip cream cheese in a large bowl until ultra-creamy, then incorporate powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully integrated.
- Separately whip heavy cream to stiff peak consistency, then delicately fold into the cream cheese mixture to maintain its airy texture.
- Gently blend the reserved mango puree into the cream cheese mixture, ensuring even distribution and creating a vibrant golden hue.
- Select a trifle dish or individual serving glasses and create a base layer using ladyfinger cookies or sponge cake cubes.
- Lightly drizzle additional mango puree over the cookie layer to enhance moisture and flavor intensity.
- Carefully spread a generous layer of the mango cheesecake mixture over the cookies, ensuring even coverage.
- Repeat layering process, alternating between cookies and mango cheesecake mixture until the container is filled, finishing with a luxurious cheesecake layer.
- Artfully decorate the top with fresh mango slices, reserved diced mango, dollops of whipped cream, and delicate mint leaves.
- Refrigerate for minimum 4 hours or overnight at 40°F to allow flavors to harmonize and texture to set perfectly.
- Prior to serving, add final garnish of mango slices, whipped cream, and mint leaves for an elegant presentation.
Notes
- Smooth out cream cheese completely to avoid lumps, ensuring a silky texture for your cheesecake layer.
- Use ripe, sweet mangoes for maximum flavor intensity and natural sweetness in the dessert.
- Whip heavy cream to stiff peaks carefully, stopping just before it turns grainy to maintain a light, airy consistency.
- Try graham cracker crumbs or pound cake instead of ladyfingers for different textural experiences.
