Description

Mango Float is a beloved no-bake Filipino dessert featuring sweet ripe mangoes, whipped cream, and graham crackers layered into a chilled cake. Light, luscious, and incredibly easy to make — it’s perfect for summer parties and make-ahead desserts!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe mangoes, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 2 cups heavy cream (or all-purpose cream), chilled
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 package graham crackers
  • Optional: crushed graham crackers for topping

Instructions

  1. Make the Cream: In a large bowl, beat chilled cream with a hand mixer until soft peaks form. Gently fold in the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract until well combined.
  2. Layer: In a baking dish, spread a thin layer of cream mixture. Add a layer of graham crackers to cover the bottom, then spread more cream and top with sliced mangoes. Repeat layers until all ingredients are used, ending with cream on top.
  3. Top: Add crushed graham crackers and extra mango slices for garnish if desired.
  4. Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set and allow flavors to meld.
  5. Serve: Slice and serve cold — refreshing and irresistible!

Notes

Use ripe carabao mangoes if available for authentic Filipino flavor. For a firmer dessert, freeze for 2–3 hours before serving. You can also swap graham crackers for ladyfingers or digestive biscuits.
