• Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).• Spread grated coconut out on a baking sheet and toast 4–5 minutes. Let cool.• In a bowl, use an electric beater to whip egg whites until they hold firm peaks. Reserve.• In a large bowl, beat egg yolks along with ½ cup (125 ml) sugar and 1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla for about 5 minutes or until thick and creamy.• Add flour by sifting it over the bowl.• Incorporate beaten egg whites, gently folding dough with a spatula.• Spread dough out on a 12˝ x 18˝ (30 cm x 45 cm) cookie sheet previously greased and covered with parchment paper. Bake in oven for 10 minutes.• Remove from oven and flip onto a clean, moist cloth. Remove parchment paper and roll cake onto itself. Let cool.• In a saucepan, mix ½ cup (125 ml) sugar and the mangoes and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes. Add a bit of water if the mangoes are not ripe enough. Let cool.• Reduce to a purée using a food processor or a blender, then add Ricotta and process until a smooth consistency is achieved.• Whip cream along with 2 tbsp (30 ml) sugar and the remaining vanilla, then reserve in refrigerator.• Unroll the cooled cake and spread the Ricotta mixture over the inside surface.
