Instructions
Step 1
Mix almond powder, flour, sugar, butter and eggs until well combined. Place on parchment paper and roll flat with a rolling pin (about ½ cm thick).
Step 2
Transfer the dough to a preheated oven at 180°C and bake for 10 minutes until cooked through. Remove, cut out a 35 cm diameter circle, let cool, and set aside.
Step 3
Whip the Mascarpone cheese, whipping cream and sugar until fluffy. Set aside.
Step 4
Mix the whipped cheese mixture, mango puree, passion fruit pulp and dried apricots thoroughly. Pour into a 35 cm diameter round bowl and freeze until set to form the mango cheese layer.
Step 5
Mix gelatin powder with sugar. Cut agar agar into small pieces and rinse. Bring water and agar agar to a boil to dissolve, then add the gelatin-sugar mixture and stir to dissolve. Remove from heat and let cool slightly, then stir in the fig puree.
Step 6
Unmold the mango cheese layer onto a wire rack, pour step 5 over the top, and finally place it on the almond cookie base to finish.
