Key Ingredients and Why They Matter
- Ladyfingers: Ladyfingers create the soft, layered tiramisu texture. They soak up the mango milk mixture and become tender as the dessert chills.
- Mango Nectar: Mango nectar is the main flavor of this dessert. It’s used in the soak, cream layer, and topping for a sweet, fruity mango flavor throughout.
- Sweetened Condensed Milk: Sweetened condensed milk adds richness and sweetness while giving the dessert that creamy mango lassi-inspired flavor.
- Heavy Cream and Cream Cheese: Heavy cream makes the filling fluffy, while cream cheese adds tang and structure so the cream layer stays rich and stable.
- Cardamom: Cardamom adds the warm, floral flavor that makes this taste like mango lassi rather than just mango cream.
Ingredient Substitutions
- Mango Nectar: You can use mango pulp or mango purée instead, but you may need to thin it out with a splash of milk since it is usually thicker than mango nectar. If using unsweetened mango purée, adjust the sweetness to taste.
- Cream Cheese: Mascarpone can be used for a more traditional tiramisu-style cream layer. The flavor will be a little milder and less tangy than cream cheese.
- Sweetened Condensed Milk: If you prefer a less sweet dessert, you can slightly reduce the condensed milk in the cream layer. I would not skip it completely since it adds both sweetness and richness.

How to Make Mango Lassi Tiramisu
- Make the milk soak: Whisk together whole milk, mango nectar, sweetened condensed milk, and crushed cardamom. Set aside to let the cardamom infuse.
- Make the mango cream: Whip the heavy cream, mango nectar, sweetened condensed milk, softened cream cheese, and crushed cardamom until smooth, fluffy, and thick enough to spread.
- Add the first ladyfinger layer: Quickly dip the ladyfingers into the mango milk soak, then arrange them in an even layer in your dish. Pour 1/4 cup mango nectar over the top.
- Add the first cream layer: Spread half of the mango cream evenly over the soaked ladyfingers.
- Repeat the layers: Add another layer of soaked ladyfingers, then spread the remaining mango cream on top.
- Finish and chill: Pour 2/3 cup mango nectar over the top, then cover and refrigerate until chilled and set. Serve cold.
My Expert Recipe Tips
Don’t oversoak the ladyfingers: Quickly dip or brush the ladyfingers with the mango milk soak so they soften without falling apart. They will continue to absorb moisture as the tiramisu chills.
Use cold heavy cream: Cold heavy cream whips up better and creates a lighter, fluffier cream layer. Make sure your cream cheese is softened, though, so it blends smoothly without lumps.
Let it chill before serving: This dessert needs time in the fridge so the ladyfingers soften, the cream sets, and the mango-cardamom flavor develops. A few hours is good, but overnight is even better.
Mango Lassi Tiramisu Recipe FAQs
Chill it for at least 4 hours, but overnight is best for the softest texture and cleanest slices.
Store it covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep it chilled until you’re ready to serve.
