Indulge in a tropical paradise with our delectable Frozen Mango Cream Cakes, a symphony of flavors and textures that will tantalize your taste buds. Picture layers of creamy, tangy mango mousse nestled between delicate sponge cake, enveloped in a luscious white chocolate ganache. These individual cakes are not only visually stunning but also a delightful explosion of flavors in every bite.
The Mango Mousse, a delightful creation of whipped cream, cream cheese, and sweet mango puree, offers a light and airy texture complemented by the vibrant mango flavor. The White Chocolate Ganache, a rich and velvety coating, adds a touch of sweetness and perfectly balances the tanginess of the mango. And the Sponge Cake, a classic foundation for these cakes, provides a soft and fluffy base for the mousse and ganache to shine.
This recipe collection features two variations of the Frozen Mango Cream Cakes: a classic version and a gluten-free version, catering to diverse dietary needs. The gluten-free version swaps the all-purpose flour in the sponge cake with a gluten-free flour blend, ensuring that everyone can enjoy this tropical treat.
These cakes are not only a feast for the senses but also a delight to make. With step-by-step instructions and helpful tips, we guide you through the process of crafting these frozen masterpieces. From preparing the sponge cake to assembling the final product, we've got you covered.
So, gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and embark on a culinary journey to the tropics. These Frozen Mango Cream Cakes are not just desserts; they are edible works of art that will leave a lasting impression on your palate and memories.
FROZEN COCONUT CREAM MANGO CAKES (VEGAN)
This recipe is in two parts, the crust and the mousse. You can make this as 8 individual molds or a large cake using an 8" spring form pan. The finished product should be frozen for 6 hours then left to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before cutting. The original recipe was not vegan and came from Martha Stewart. The first four ingredients are for the crust, the rest for the mousse. To ensure you get all the mango use a potato peeler to peel it. Also it is best to prepare your coconut whipped cream ahead of time. My recipe for Coconut Whipped Cream is #219030 If using regular whipping cream you can either make it ahead or when preparing your cake. It's your choice. Great on a hot summer's day.

Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 350'F.
- Lightly coat the 8 ring molds with vegan spray oil. The molds should measure 2 inches high by 2 1/4 inches in diameter.
- Place on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- If using an 8" spring form pan, coat the sides and bottom with spray oil.
- FOR THE CRUST.
- Pulse the macadamia nuts and 3 tablespoons sugar together in the food processor until finely ground.
- In a separate bowl, combine the nuts, flour and vegan margarine with a fork until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
- Spoon a generous tablespoons into each of the 8 molds and press into the bottom.
- At this point, if you are using the spring form pan, press all of the crust into the bottom. No need for the parchment or rimmed baking pan. Just pop the spring form pan into the oven as is.
- Bake until golden brown, around 12 minutes. Let cool.
- FOR THE MOUSSE.
- Pour the orange juice into a small saucepan. Sprinkle with the gelatin and let sit for 5 minutes until soft. Heat on low stirring to dissolve. Remove from heat.
- Cut one quarter of one mango into 1/8 inch slices for garnish if you like. This step is up to you.
- I'm using the spring form pan, so I did this to decorate the top. You could also keep the mango slices to serve along side the little molds.
- Course chop the remaining mangoes. In a blender puree the mango and one cup of sugar plus the lemon juice until smooth.
- With the blender running slowly add the gelatin mixture and combine well.
- Transfer to a large bowl.
- If you are using the coconut whipped cream you can re-whip it and add the icing sugar.
- If making this with dairy whipped cream, whip the cream and add the icing sugar to form soft peaks.
- Add 1/3 of the whipped cream into the mango mixture and gently fold it together.
- If you are using the small molds divide the mango whipped cream mixture evenly among the molds. Fill about 3/4 full. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze until firm, anywhere from 4 hours to a week.
- If you are using the spring form pan follow the instructions as above and add the mango coconut mixture on top of the macadamia crust. Spread it evenly.
- Decorate the dessert with the mango slices, or serve them along side.
- When you are ready to serve this dessert, let it stand at room temperature for 4-6 minutes before removing from the molds, or spring form pan.
- Let sit 8-10 minutes before slicing if you are using the spring form pan.
- Store what's left in the fridge and cover well. I put my cake back in to the spring form pan to keep its shape.
- Bon Appetit.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly coat inside of 8 ring molds (each about 2 inches high and 2 3/4 inches in diameter) with cooking spray. Place on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Make the crust: Pulse macadamia nuts and granulated sugar in a food processor until finely ground. In a bowl, combine nuts, flour, and butter with a fork until mixture resembles coarse meal. Spoon a generous tablespoon of the mixture into each mold, and press into bottom. Bake until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Let cool.
- Make the mousse: Pour orange juice into a small saucepan. Sprinkle with gelatin, and let stand until softened, about 5 minutes. Heat over low heat, stirring, until dissolved. Remove from heat.
- Cut one-quarter of one mango into 1/8-inch-thick slices for garnish (halve large slices); cover, and refrigerate. Coarsely chop remaining mangoes. In a blender, puree chopped mangoes, granulated sugar, and lemon juice until smooth. With machine running, add gelatin mixture in a slow, steady stream, and blend until combined. Transfer to a bowl.
- With a whisk or an electric mixer on medium speed, beat cream until soft peaks form. Add confectioners' sugar, and beat until soft peaks return. Whisk one-third of the whipped cream into the mango mixture. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in remaining whipped cream.
- Divide mousse among molds, filling three-quarters full. Cover with plastic wrap, and freeze until firm, at least 4 hours (up to 1 week).
- When ready to serve, let cakes stand at room temperature for 5 minutes. Gently push up from bottoms to unmold. Transfer cakes to serving plates; let stand 10 minutes to soften slightly. Serve garnished with mango slices.
Tips:
- Choose ripe mangoes: For the best flavor, use ripe mangoes that are sweet and juicy. Avoid mangoes that are too firm or have green flesh.
- Freeze the mangoes properly: To ensure that the mangoes freeze evenly and maintain their flavor, cut them into small pieces and spread them out in a single layer on a baking sheet before freezing. Once frozen, transfer the mango pieces to a freezer-safe bag or container.
- Use high-quality cream cheese: The cream cheese is a key ingredient in this recipe, so it's important to use a high-quality brand that is smooth and creamy. Avoid using cream cheese that is grainy or has a sour taste.
- Chill the cakes before serving: Chilling the cakes before serving helps them to set and firm up, making them easier to cut and serve. It also allows the flavors to meld together.
