Description

Filipino Mango Float is a no-bake, creamy layered dessert that combines ripe mangoes, whipped cream, cream cheese, condensed milk, and graham crackers to create a refreshing tropical treat. Perfect for any occasion, it offers a luscious, melt-in-your-mouth texture with bright fruity flavors that transport you to the islands with every bite.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 34 ripe mangoes (preferably Ataulfo or Carabao), peeled and sliced thinly
  • 2 cups whipped cream (freshly whipped or store-bought)
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese or all-purpose cream, softened
  • 1 package graham crackers (about 2 sleeves)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mangoes: Peel and slice the ripe mangoes into thin, uniform strips to ensure neat layers and consistent flavor in every bite.
  2. Whip the Cream Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the whipped cream, condensed milk, and softened cream cheese until smooth, fluffy, and well incorporated.
  3. Assemble the Layers: In a rectangular or square dish, spread a thin layer of the cream mixture on the bottom. Place a single layer of graham crackers over the cream, then add a layer of mango slices, followed by another layer of cream. Repeat these layers until all ingredients are used, finishing off with a layer of cream on top.
  4. Chill and Set: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the graham crackers to soften and the flavors to meld together.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Once fully chilled and set, slice the Mango Float into squares or rectangles and serve cold for a delightful, creamy tropical dessert.

Notes

  • Choose ripe but firm mangoes for the best flavor and easy slicing.
  • Do not over-soak the graham crackers to avoid sogginess; light layering helps maintain texture.
  • Chill the dessert for up to 24 hours for enhanced flavor integration and a thicker cream consistency.
  • Use cold cream when whipping to achieve fluffy, smooth peaks.
  • Slice carefully with a sharp knife just before serving to maintain clean edges.
