Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Mango Puree

In a separate bowl, whisk together the mascarpone cheese, granulated sugar, and kosher salt until well combined. Set aside.

Step 3: Whisk in the Heavy Cream

Gradually add the heavy cream to the mascarpone mixture, whisking constantly until stiff peaks form.
