Ingredients

  • 1 cup gluten
  • free ladyfingers, halved
  • 4 ripe mangoes, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 cup sticky rice, cooked and cooled
  • 2 cups coconut cream
  • 8 oz Thai mango
  • infused vodka
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 6 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 4 oz dark chocolate, grated or shaved
  • 1 cup toasted coconut flakes
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Begin by preparing the ladyfingers, ensuring they are gluten free and halved. In a shallow dish, combine the Thai mango infused vodka and half of the prepared coconut cream. Soak the ladyfingers in the mixture until softened but not falling apart. In a separate bowl, whisk together egg yolks and sugar over a double boiler until thick and pale. Fold in the remaining coconut cream gently, ensuring not to deflate the mixture. Set aside. To assemble, place a layer of soaked ladyfingers at the bottom of each serving glass. Top with a layer of cooked sticky rice, then add a generous portion of mango slices. Pour the egg yolk and coconut cream mixture over the fruits to create a luscious layer. Repeat these layers for each serving. Sprinkle grated dark chocolate and toasted coconut flakes over the tiramisu, followed by fresh mint leaves as a final touch. Serve chilled.
