Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 3 pieces mangoes Use ripe mangoes for best flavor.
  • 250 g cream cheese, room temperature Ensure it's at room temperature for easier mixing.
  • 1/4 cup caster sugar
  • 600 ml thickened cream Divided usage.
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla essence
  • 250 g Arnott's Granita biscuits Substitutions can be made with plain tea biscuits.
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened orange juice
  • 2 pieces passionfruit For drizzling on top.
  • 1 punnet fresh raspberries For garnish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Slice cheeks from one mango and spoon out flesh into a food processor. Blitz to form a puree. Set aside and reserve remaining two mangoes for garnish.
  2. Wipe out the bowl of the food processor. Add cream cheese, caster sugar, and half cup of cream, and blitz until smooth and well combined. Remove to a bowl and fold through mango puree.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk remaining cream with vanilla essence until thick.
Assembly
  1. Spread a long, thick rectangle of whipped cream onto your serving platter.
  2. Dip a Granita biscuit in orange juice then spread with cream cheese mixture. Stand upright at one end of whipped cream and repeat with remaining biscuits, sandwiching them together to form a log.
  3. Cover the log with remaining whipped cream, then place in the fridge to set for 2 hours or overnight.
Serving
  1. When ready to serve, remove cheeks from remaining mangoes and use a large metal spoon to scoop out the flesh. Slice lengthwise into thin slithers and drape over the top of the log.
  2. Dot with raspberries and drizzle over passionfruit pulp before serving.

Notes

Slice with a sharp knife warmed under hot water for neat pieces. Pairs beautifully with iced tea or a light sparkling wine. Store in the fridge for up to 48 hours, or slice and freeze individual pieces for a month.
