Instructions
Instructions
- Make the cream filling: Beat cold heavy cream until fluffy. Add sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and softened cream cheese if using. Continue mixing until smooth and creamy.
- Prepare the first layer: Arrange a layer of graham crackers in the bottom of a baking dish or serving container. Break crackers as needed to cover the surface.
- Add mango and cream layers: Spread a layer of cream mixture over the crackers, then add sliced mangoes evenly on top.
- Repeat the layers: Continue layering graham crackers, cream filling, and mangoes until all ingredients are used. Finish with a cream layer and mango topping.
- Chill and serve: Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, until the crackers soften and the flavors blend. Sprinkle with crushed graham crackers before serving.
Notes
For the best flavor, use sweet, ripe mangoes such as Ataulfo or Philippine mangoes. Making this dessert one day ahead creates the perfect soft cake-like texture. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
