Ingredients
For the Cream Layer
- 1/2 cup Heavy Cream
- 1/4 cup Milk
- 1/4 cup Water
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
For the Mango Layer
- 1 cup Mango Puree
For the Biscuit Layer
- 1 cup Biscuit crushed into powder
For the Garnish
- 2 Tbsp Pistachios chopped
- 2 Tbsp Cashews chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the cream layer. In a bowl, combine the heavy cream, milk, water, and vanilla extract.
- Using an electric mixer, beat the cream mixture at high speed for 3-4 minutes, or until stiff peaks form. Stiff peaks are essential for creating a stable and airy cream layer.
- Freeze the whipped cream for at least 10 minutes to allow it to firm up. This will make it easier to layer.
- While the cream chills, crush the biscuits into a fine powder. You can use a food processor or place them in a sealed bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
- Assemble the dessert. In a serving jar or glass, begin layering the ingredients. Start with a layer of crushed biscuits, followed by a layer of whipped cream, and then a layer of mango puree.
- Repeat the layers until the jar is full, ending with a layer of whipped cream and mango puree.
- Garnish with chopped pistachios and cashews.
- Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for later. The flavors will meld together beautifully as it chills.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For extra texture and flavor, layer in chopped pistachios, toasted coconut flakes, or even a sprinkle of cardamom powder between the cream and mango layers for an Indian-inspired twist.
- If you prefer a firmer dessert, let the assembled layers chill in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours before serving; this helps the biscuit base absorb some moisture and creates a more cohesive slice.
- Use Alphonso or Kesar mango varieties for a richer color and naturally sweeter flavor, or try a mix of ripe and slightly tart mangoes to balance the dessert's sweetness.
- To create individual servings, assemble the layers in small glasses or jars for an elegant presentation at parties or gatherings.
Expert Tips
- Ensure your mangoes are perfectly ripe for the best flavor and texture. Gently press the mango – it should yield slightly to pressure without feeling mushy.
- Whipping the cream to stiff peaks will create a stable and airy layer that holds its shape well. Be careful not to overwhip, as this can lead to a grainy texture.
- For a visually appealing dessert, arrange the mango slices in a decorative pattern on top of the cream layer.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover mango dessert in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The biscuit base may soften slightly over time as it absorbs moisture from the cream and mango.
