Steps

1. For the mango syrup, mix the mango and passion fruit juice, rum and lime juice and heat gently in a small pan until simmering. Then set aside.
2. For the zabaglione, beat the egg yolks, sugar, rum and 1 tablespoon of water in a metal bowl over a pan of simmering water until the mixture thickens slightly. Then leave to cool.
3. Mix the mascarpone, crème fraîche and lime zest, then carefully stir into the zabaglione. Beat the egg whites in a separate bowl until soft peaks form and then fold into the mascarpone mixture.
4. To assemble, dip the sponges in the mango syrup and arrange half in a 25-centimeter serving bowl.
5. Top with half of the mascarpone mixture, followed by a layer of the mango slices and passion fruit pulp.
6. Continue with the remaining syrup-dipped sponge, mangoes and passion fruit pulp, then top with the remaining mascarpone mixture and smooth the surface. Chill in the fridge for 4 to 6 hours.
7. Make the pistachio and basil crumble by chopping all the ingredients in a blender.
8. Sprinkle the pistachio and basil crumble over the tiramisu before serving.DON'T MISS OUT!Sign up now for our newsletter.
