Ingredients
- 1½ sheets frozen butter puff pastry, thawed
- 2 mangoes, peeled
- 30 g (½ cup) toasted coconut flakes
- mint sprigs, to serve
Vanilla coconut cream
- 300 g thickened cream
- 100 g icing sugar mixture
- ½ tsp coconut essence
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 250 g thick coconut yoghurt
Cooling time: 20 minutes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 220˚C.
- Cut the whole puff pastry sheet in half (to give you three half sheets) and place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Prick all over with a fork, then place another sheet of baking paper on top and add another baking tray to sandwich the pastry. Bake for 20 - 25 minutes or until the pastry is dark brown and crisp. Allow to cool completely.
- Meanwhile, for the vanilla coconut cream, place the cream, icing sugar, coconut essence and vanilla in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted and whisk until medium peaks form. Gently fold through the coconut yoghurt. Transfer to a piping bag and refrigerate until ready to assemble.
- Just before assembling, dice one of the mangos and thinly slice the other. Place a pastry sheet onto your serving dish and pipe a layer of cream onto it. Top with a layer of diced mango, then repeat for the remaining two layers using the sliced mango on the final layer. Top with toasted coconut and mint and serve immediately.
