Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Cookies

Begin by laying out the Savoiardi cookies in a suitable mold. Make sure to arrange them tightly to create a solid base for your cake.

Next, gently soak the cookies in coconut milk. Be careful not to over-soak them, as you want just enough moisture to soften without making them soggy.

Step 2

Make the Cream Layer

In a mixing bowl, combine the chilled mascarpone cheese and heavy cream. Whip the mixture for about 2 minutes until it increases in volume and becomes light and fluffy.

Once whipped, gently fold in the mango puree and sweetened condensed milk, combining until fully integrated. Your cream should be smooth and creamy, ready to spread.

Step 3

Assemble the Cake

Spread the prepared cream over the layer of soaked cookies in the mold. Feel free to add chopped mango and passion fruit pieces into the layers for added texture and flavor.

Once the cream layer is done, carefully cover the top with a layer of passion fruit puree. If you enjoy the seeds, don't hesitate to include them.

Step 4

Chill and Serve

Place the assembled cake into the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 2 hours; however, for best results, aim for 4 hours. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld beautifully.

When ready to serve, remove from the fridge, cut into slices, and enjoy your refreshing no-bake mango passion fruit cake!
