Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Mango Jelly Centers:
  • 3 cups ripe mango puree
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp gelatin powder
  • 1/2 cup cold water
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • For the Coconut Cream Layer:
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup coconut cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • For the Golden Sugar Crystal Coating:
  • 2 cups coarse sanding sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tbsp light corn syrup
  • Gold luster dust, as needed
  • 1 tsp edible pearl shimmer dust
  • For Garnish (optional):
  • Fresh mango cubes
  • Edible gold flakes

Instructions

  1. Cook mango puree, granulated sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan over medium heat until warmed through.
  2. Bloom gelatin in cold water for 5 minutes, then stir into the mango mixture until completely dissolved. Add vanilla extract and allow to cool slightly.
  3. Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, coconut cream, and vanilla until smooth and fluffy.
  4. Pour half of the mango mixture into a parchment-lined square pan and chill until partially set.
  5. Spread the coconut cream layer evenly over the mango layer, then cover with the remaining mango mixture.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours until firm, then cut into irregular geode-like nugget shapes.
  7. In a saucepan, combine water and corn syrup and heat just until blended. Lightly brush the surface of each mango nugget with the syrup mixture.
  8. Mix sanding sugar with gold luster dust and pearl shimmer dust, then press onto the coated nuggets to create a sparkling crystal effect.
  9. Allow the sugar coating to set for 15 minutes before arranging on a serving platter.
  10. Garnish with fresh mango cubes and edible gold flakes before serving.
