  1. Combine mango puree, mango nectar, water, sugar, agar-agar powder, lime juice, and salt in a saucepan. Heat while stirring until fully dissolved and bring to a gentle simmer.
  2. Pour the mixture into heart-shaped silicone molds, filling each cavity halfway. Refrigerate until partially set.
  3. Whip mascarpone cheese, heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, vanilla bean paste, and sweetened condensed milk until smooth and fluffy. Transfer to a piping bag.
