Ingredients
- 1 cup mango nectar
- 60ml (¼ cup) Malibu
- 45ml Cointreau
- 250g mascarpone cheese
- 300ml thickened cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup icing sugar
- 200g savoiardi sponge finger biscuits
- 3-4 ripe mangoes, diced
- 1 punnet fresh blueberries
- 1 punnet fresh raspberries
Instructions
- Make mango syrup:
- Combine mango nectar, Malibu and Cointreau in a shallow bowl. Stir gently to combine.
- Whip cream:
- Beat thickened cream, vanilla and icing sugar until soft peaks form.
- Fold in mascarpone:
- Add mascarpone and continue beating until thick, smooth and fluffy. Avoid over-mixing.
- Soak biscuits:
- Dip savoiardi biscuits briefly into mango syrup, turning 3-4 times to evenly coat.
- Layer misu:
- Arrange soaked biscuits in the base of your 19cm square dish (trim to fit). Top with a layer of mascarpone cream and fresh fruit. Repeat layers until all ingredients are used.
- Chill & serve:
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, to allow flavours to develop. Serve cold.
Notes
TOP TIPS:
- Make ahead: Flavours improve overnight, making it perfect for dinner parties.
- Alcohol-free option: Skip the Malibu and Cointreau for a family-friendly version.
- Fruit swap: Try passionfruit, pineapple or kiwi fruit if berries aren’t your thing.
- Double batch: Mango syrup is enough for a double-sized dessert; just double the remaining ingredients.
