Ginger-Mango Icebox Cake topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 1.5 cups chilled heavy cream
- 0.5 cup coconut cream with sugar
- 30 gingerbread cookies (about half a 450g package)
- 0.5 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- 1 large mango
- Juice of half a lime
- 1 tbsp. sugar
Preparation:
- In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream with a mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes. Fold in the coconut cream and beat until smooth.
- Spoon about 1 heaping teaspoon of whipped cream onto each gingerbread cookie. Press the cookies together on a serving platter to form a 12-inch-long log. Top the log with the remaining whipped cream. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
- Preheat oven to 175°C. Spread the coconut flakes in a single layer on a baking sheet and toast until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Let cool completely.
- Peel and core the mango and dice the flesh. Combine in a small bowl with lime juice, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Sprinkle toasted coconut flakes over the entire surface of the cake, pressing gently to adhere. Top with the mango. Slice diagonally and serve.
