Mango Layer Dessert Roll is a tropical, creamy rolled cake filled with whipped cream and ripe mango slices. This chilled dessert is ideal for warm days and festive gatherings, offering refreshing fruitiness and elegant presentation.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 thin sponge cake sheet (approx. 1/4 inch thick)
  • 1 cup heavy cream or whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 oz cream cheese or mascarpone (optional, for richness)
  • 1 tablespoon gelatin (optional, for stability)
  • 2 ripe mangoes, sliced or cubed
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Bake a thin sponge cake layer and let it cool completely on parchment paper.
  2. Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
  3. Optional: Beat in softened cream cheese or mascarpone until smooth. If using gelatin, dissolve it and fold in at this step.
  4. Spread the cream mixture evenly over the cooled sponge cake.
  5. Arrange mango slices in a line across the cream layer.
  6. Using parchment paper, gently roll the cake from one end to the other to form a log.
  7. Wrap tightly and refrigerate for at least 3 hours to set the shape.
  8. Dust with powdered sugar and garnish with extra mango before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Roll the sponge cake while it’s still slightly warm to prevent cracking, then unroll and fill.
  • Use ripe but firm mangoes for best texture and ease of slicing.
  • For added flavor, mix in lime zest or mango puree with the cream.
  • Serve chilled for best taste and texture.
  • Can be made a day in advance for convenience.
