Ingredients:

• 1 cup almond flour

• 3 large eggs
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tbsp melted butter
• 3 egg whites
• 1 1/2 tbsp granulated sugar
• 1 cup mango puree
• 3 tbsp sugar
• 2 tsp gelatin (bloomed)
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 vanilla bean
• 4 egg yolks
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 2 1/2 tsp gelatin
• 1 3/4 cups heavy whipping cream (semi-whipped)

• 2 tbsp glucose syrup
• 2 tsp gelatin
• Fresh mango cubes (for decoration)
• Crispy pearls (for decoration)

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking tray or rectangular mold with parchment paper.
2. Make the almond sponge by whisking almond flour, icing sugar, and whole eggs until light and fluffy. Fold in the flour and melted butter.
3. In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites with sugar until soft peaks form. Gently fold this mixture into the almond mixture to keep the batter airy.
4. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan and bake for 12–15 minutes or until lightly golden. Let it cool completely.
5. For the mango gelée, heat the mango puree and sugar in a saucepan until warm. Stir in the bloomed gelatin until dissolved. Pour this into an insert mold or shallow tray and chill until fully set.
6. To make the vanilla mousse, heat the milk with the vanilla bean until fragrant. In another bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar together.
7. Slowly pour the warm milk into the yolks while whisking constantly. Return to the saucepan and cook gently until slightly thickened like crème anglaise.
8. Remove from heat and stir in the gelatin until smooth. Cool this mixture to room temperature.
9. Fold the semi-whipped cream into the vanilla mixture until silky and fluffy.
10. Assemble the Golden Mango Vanilla Mousse Cake by layering the almond sponge, vanilla mousse, mango gelée insert, and more mousse into your mold.
11. Freeze the cake for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.
12. For the mango glaze, warm the mango puree, sugar, and glucose syrup together. Stir in the gelatin until glossy and smooth. Cool slightly before pouring it over the frozen cake.
13. Decorate with mango cubes, crispy pearls, white chocolate spheres, tuile pieces, and edible gold for an elegant finish.
14. Serve slightly chilled for the dreamiest creamy texture and the most vibrant mango flavor.
