**Mango Tiramisu**
**Ingredients:**
– 3 ripe mangos, peeled and diced
– 1 cup mango juice
– 1 cup sugar
– 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
– 1 cup mascarpone cheese
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 24 ladyfinger cookies
– 1/2 cup brewed espresso, cooled
– 1/4 cup rum
– Cocoa powder for dusting
**Instructions:**
1. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the diced mangos, mango juice, and sugar. Stir occasionally until the mixture thickens and the fruit is soft, about 15-20 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.
2. In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. In another bowl, whisk together the mascarpone cheese and vanilla extract until smooth. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until well combined.
3. In a shallow dish, combine the brewed espresso and rum. Dip each ladyfinger into the espresso mixture for a few seconds, ensuring they are soaked but not soggy.
4. In a serving dish or individual glasses, start by layering half of the soaked ladyfingers at the bottom. Spread half of the mascarpone cream mixture over the ladyfingers, smoothing it out with a spatula.
5. Spoon half of the mango compote over the cream layer, spreading it evenly. Repeat the layers with the remaining ladyfingers, cream mixture, and mango compote.
6. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
7. Before serving, dust the top of the Mango Tiramisu with a generous sprinkle of cocoa powder for a finishing touch.
