Indulge in a luscious no-bake dessert of mangoes and strawberries enveloped in cream, layered between soft Madeira cake. No oven required for this sweet treat!
Ingredients:
  • 400ml double cream
  • 24.00 gm icing sugar mixture
  • 250g tub crème fraîche
  • 2 tsp orange blossom water
  • 2 x 450g packets Madeira cake
  • 2 mangoes
  • 250g large strawberries
  • 80ml (1/3 cup) Cointreau or triple sec liqueur
  • Edible flowers, to decorate
  • Sliced pistachio nuts, to serve
Instructions:
  • Prepare a 20cm square cake pan by greasing and lining it with baking paper, leaving some paper to hang over the edges. In a bowl, combine cream and sugar. Whisk with a balloon whisk until soft peaks form. Stir in creme fraiche and orange blossom water until slightly thickened.
  • Remove the dark crusts from the cakes and thinly slice 1 mango. Prepare half of the strawberries and hull and slice them. Slice the cakes horizontally into 1cm-thick slices. In a prepared pan, line the base with half of the cake slices, adjusting as needed. Brush with half of the liqueur, then layer with one-third of the cream mixture. Add the sliced mango and strawberries, then spread half of the remaining cream mixture. Top with the rest of the cake slices, brush with the remaining liqueur, and spread the rest of the cream mixture. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight to set and enhance the flavors.
  • Peel and thinly slice the last mango. Hull and slice the remaining strawberries. Gently lift the cake from the pan using the overhanging paper and transfer it to a plate. Cover with mango and strawberries, then garnish with edible flowers and pistachios.
