Mango Lassi Tiramisu Recipe

If you love mango lassi and tiramisu, this dessert is the ultimate mashup. It layers creamy, spiced yogurt mascarpone filling with juicy mango purée and soft ladyfingers soaked in cardamom-spiced mango juice. It’s light, fruity, and luscious, a tropical twist on the Italian classic that’s perfect for summer gatherings, Diwali parties, or when you just want to impress without turning on the oven.

Yields

1 (9 x 9-inch) tiramisu, serves 8–10

Ingredients

Mango Soak

• 2 cups mango juice
• ½ teaspoon ground cardamom

Cream Filling

• 1½ cups plain Greek yogurt
• 1 cup mascarpone cheese
• ½ cup sweetened condensed milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom

Mango Layer

• 2 cups mango purée (from ripe mangos or canned)

Assembly

• 24–28 ladyfinger cookies
• Fresh mango slices, for topping
• Optional: crushed pistachios or edible rose petals, for garnish

Instructions

1. Make the Mango Soak

In a shallow bowl, whisk together the mango juice and cardamom. This is what you’ll dip your ladyfingers into to infuse them with tropical flavor.

2. Prepare the Cream Filling

In a large bowl, combine the yogurt, mascarpone, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, and cardamom. Whisk until smooth and creamy. The mixture should be thick but spreadable.

3. Soak and Layer

Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the mango soak — just 1–2 seconds per side so they soften but don’t fall apart. Arrange a single layer of soaked ladyfingers on the bottom of a 9 x 9-inch dish.

4. Add Cream & Mango

Spread half of the cream mixture evenly over the soaked ladyfingers. Spoon half of the mango purée over the cream and gently swirl it in with the back of a spoon.

5. Repeat the Layers

Add another layer of soaked ladyfingers, followed by the remaining cream mixture and mango purée. Swirl again for a marbled effect.

6. Chill

Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible. This helps the flavors meld and the tiramisu to set.

7. Garnish & Serve

Just before serving, top with fresh mango slices, crushed pistachios, or edible rose petals for a beautiful finish. Slice and enjoy chilled.

Let’s Talk Ingredients: Why They Matter

Mango
Mango gives this tiramisu its vibrant flavor and color. Using puréed ripe mangoes or high-quality canned purée ensures a naturally sweet, rich taste that complements the creamy filling.

Greek Yogurt & Mascarpone
This combo creates a light but luscious filling. The yogurt adds tanginess and body, while mascarpone provides that silky Italian tiramisu texture.

Cardamom
A touch of cardamom ties the flavors together, giving the dessert a subtle warmth that plays beautifully with the tropical mango and creamy layers.

Ladyfingers
Their sponge-like texture absorbs the mango soak perfectly, creating soft, pudding-like layers without getting soggy.
