How long do the layers take to set?

Each layer takes about 2–3 hours to set fully.

Can I add a third flavor?

Yes, try a vanilla or blueberry layer between.

Can I make this dairy-free?

Use plant-based cream cheese and coconut cream.

How do I unmold cleanly?

Run a knife around the edge before releasing the springform.

Can I add a glaze?

Yes, a fruit or clear glaze can add shine and flavor.

Are the layers equal in flavor?

Each has a distinct fruity note, balanced with creaminess.

Instructions

In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Chill while preparing the filling.
Sprinkle gelatin over 1/2 cup cold water in a small bowl and let sit for 5 minutes. Microwave for 15–20 seconds until dissolved and clear. Let cool slightly.
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
In another bowl, whip heavy cream to stiff peaks. Gently fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
Divide the filling evenly into two bowls. Fold mango purée and half the gelatin into one. Fold strawberry purée and remaining gelatin into the other.
Spread the mango layer over the crust and smooth the top. Chill for 20–30 minutes to slightly firm up.
Carefully spread the strawberry layer over the mango layer. Smooth the top.
Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight until completely set.
Before serving, garnish with fresh mango and strawberry slices if desired.

Notes

Use ripe, sweet fruit for best results.
Chilling the mango layer before adding the strawberry layer helps maintain clean layers.
You can blend and strain purées for a smoother texture.
Refrigerate leftovers and consume within 3–4 days.
