  • mango puree
  • eggs

Mango cremeux: heat the mango puree in a saucepan; beat the eggs with the sugar in a bowl.
Pour the egg mixture into the warm puree, whisking constantly over medium heat until it thickens and just begins to bubble; one quick boil.
  • bloomed gelatine
Off the heat, add the bloomed gelatine and cold cubed butter and blend smooth with an immersion blender.

  • bloomed gelatin
  • heavy cream
  • melted chocolate
  • egg whites
  • sugar
Meringue: beat egg whites and sugar on full speed to stiff peaks; warm too-cold whites briefly with a torch without cooking them.
Whisk a third of the meringue into the ganache quickly, then fold in the rest with a rubber spatula.
Assemble: a layer of mousse spread to the edges, the second sponge, the frozen mango cremeux, more mousse, the third sponge, and mousse to the top levelled with an offset spatula; freeze overnight.
  • 3 whole chocolate sponge disks
  • chocolate ladyfingers
  • mango brunoise
  • chocolate jelly glaze
Unmold, dress the sides with chocolate ladyfingers, thaw overnight in the refrigerator, and finish with mango brunoise and the chocolate jelly glaze.
