Mango Float
Mango Float, also known as Mango Graham Cake, is a popular Filipino dessert that layers sweet mangoes, whipped cream, and graham crackers. This no-bake, chilled treat is easy to prepare and perfect for warm days, offering a delightful combination of creamy and fruity flavors.
Ingredients:
- 3 ripe mangoes, thinly sliced 🥭
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream 🥛
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk 🥄
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 🌼
- 1 package graham crackers 🌾
- Optional: crushed graham crackers or additional mango slices for garnish 🍰
Directions:
- Prepare the Cream Mixture:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Whip until the mixture becomes thick and forms soft peaks.
- Assemble the Layers:
- In a rectangular or square glass dish, arrange a single layer of graham crackers at the bottom.
- Spread a layer of the whipped cream mixture over the graham crackers, ensuring even coverage.
- Place a layer of sliced mangoes over the cream.
- Repeat the layers (graham crackers, cream, mangoes) until all ingredients are used, finishing with a top layer of the cream mixture.
- Chill the Dessert:
- Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the graham crackers to soften and the flavors to meld.
- Serve:
- Before serving, garnish with additional mango slices or crushed graham crackers if desired. Cut into squares and enjoy chilled.
Tips for Success:
- Use ripe, sweet mangoes for the best flavor.
- Ensure the cream is whipped to soft peaks to achieve a light and airy texture.
