Ingredients
- 2 cups ripe mango puree
- 2 ripe mangoes, diced
- 1 cup coconut cream (chilled)
- 1 cup dairy-free cream cheese or vegan mascarpone
- ⅓ cup maple syrup or powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lime zest (optional but recommended)
- 18–20 eggless ladyfinger biscuits
- ½ cup mango juice or diluted mango puree for soaking
- 2 tablespoons shredded coconut (optional garnish)
- Extra mango cubes for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the mango puree.
Peel and chop ripe mangoes, then blend until smooth. Measure out about 2 cups of puree. If the puree is very thick, you can thin it slightly with a tablespoon or two of mango juice. - Make the creamy filling.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the dairy-free cream cheese and maple syrup. Beat with a hand mixer until smooth and fluffy. - Add the coconut cream.
Scoop the thick, chilled coconut cream into the bowl and whip again until the mixture becomes light and creamy. - Flavor the filling.
Add vanilla extract and lime zest. Mix gently until fully incorporated. - Prepare the soaking mixture.
Pour mango juice or slightly diluted mango puree into a shallow bowl. This will be used to soften the ladyfinger biscuits. - Dip the ladyfingers.
Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the mango juice mixture. Do not soak them for too long—just a quick dip so they stay firm but absorb flavor. - Create the first layer.
Arrange the soaked ladyfingers in a single layer at the bottom of a serving dish or dessert cups. - Spread mango puree.
Spoon a layer of mango puree over the biscuits, spreading it evenly. - Add the cream layer.
Spread a thick layer of the coconut cream filling over the mango puree. - Add fresh mango pieces.
Sprinkle diced mango pieces over the cream layer. - Repeat the layers.
Add another layer of soaked ladyfingers, followed by mango puree, cream filling, and diced mango. - Finish the top layer.
Spread a final layer of the coconut cream mixture and smooth the surface. - Chill the tiramisu.
Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight. This allows the flavors to meld and the dessert to set properly. - Garnish before serving.
Top with fresh mango cubes and shredded coconut for a beautiful finish. - Serve chilled.
Scoop into bowls or slice into squares and enjoy!

Notes
Tips for Perfect Mango Tiramisu
Use ripe mangoes
The flavor of this dessert depends heavily on the mango. Choose mangoes that are fragrant, soft, and deeply golden.
Chill coconut cream first
Cold coconut cream whips much better and creates a light, airy filling.
Don’t oversoak the ladyfingers
Too much soaking will make them soggy. A quick dip is all they need.
Let it chill overnight
Although four hours is enough, overnight chilling creates the best texture and flavor.
Variations to Try
Coconut Mango Tiramisu
Add toasted coconut flakes between layers for extra texture and tropical flavor.
Mango Passionfruit Tiramisu
Mix passionfruit pulp into the mango puree for a tangy twist.
Mango Berry Tiramisu
Add raspberries or strawberries between layers for color and freshness.
Mango Pistachio Tiramisu
Top with chopped pistachios for a nutty crunch.
Serving Suggestions
Mango tiramisu pairs beautifully with light drinks and fresh fruit.
Serve it with:
- Iced mango tea
- Coconut milk latte
