A Mango Graham Float is a traditional Filipino no-bake dessert that layers sweet, ripe mangoes, creamy whipped cream, and graham crackers. This easy-to-make treat requires only a few simple ingredients and minimal preparation time, making it perfect for any occasion. As the dessert chills, the graham crackers soften, creating a cake-like texture that pairs beautifully with the fresh mangoes and creamy filling!

For a more indulgent treat, you can drizzle some additional sweetened condensed milk over each serving before serving. Feel free to adjust the sweetness by adding more or less condensed milk to the cream mixture according to your preference.

Ingredients (for 9 servings):

• 3 ripe mangoes, peeled and sliced thinly
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 packs (200 grams each) graham crackers
• Graham cracker crumbs (optional, for topping)

Instructions:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream and vanilla extract.
2. Using an electric mixer, whip the cream until it forms soft peaks.
3. Gradually add the sweetened condensed milk and continue to whip until the mixture is well combined and forms stiff peaks.
4. In a 9x9-inch pan, start by spreading a thin layer of the cream mixture at the bottom.
5. Arrange a layer of graham crackers over the cream. Break the crackers if necessary to fit the pan.
6. Spread a layer of the cream mixture over the graham crackers, making sure to cover them completely.
7. Add a layer of mango slices over the cream.
8. Repeat the layers: graham crackers, cream mixture, and mango slices until you reach the top of the pan. The final layer should be the cream mixture.
9. Once all layers are done, sprinkle graham cracker crumbs on top for extra texture (optional).
10. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the graham crackers to soften and the flavors to meld.
11. Once chilled and set, slice the dessert into 9 equal servings.
12. Serve chilled, and enjoy!
