Mango Float

Mango float is a popular Filipino dessert made with layers of crackers, ripe mango slices, and a creamy mixture of condensed milk and cream. It’s invitingly assembled in a dish, refrigerated until firm, and often served chilled. This no-bake dessert is easy to prepare and I love making it for large parties or just to enjoy in the summer! @groovyfoodiess Ingredients: 5 ripe mangoes (you can use more or less, I love mangoes so I used a LOT) 1 pint heavy whipping cream 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract 3-10 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk 1 teaspoon salt 1 package graham crackers Mint leaves, for garnish Preparation: 1. Peel mangoes and take off the cheeks. Cube 4 cheeks (2 whole mangoes) and slice the rest thinly to spin into a rose or other design. Set in the fridge to cool. 2. In a stand mixer or in a bowl if using an electric hand mixer (or you can whip by hand), pour in the whipping cream and vanilla extract. Whip until the cream is in stiff peaks, then fold in the condensed milk and salt. Start with a lower amount of condensed milk, then add in more until you’ve reached your desired sweetness. 3. In a zip top bag, crush half of the crackers and leave the rest whole. 4. To assemble: In a baking dish lined with parchment paper, spread a small layer of cream. This will be the glue to the crackers. Use the whole graham crackers to fill the bottom of the pan, filling in the gaps with any broken crackers. Spread more cream on top, then sprinkle over some cubed mangoes, then half of the crushed crackers. 5. Add another layer of cream, then add the sliced mangoes in a rose shape or however you want to decorate. 6. Top with the rest of the crushed crackers and refrigerate for about 5 hours until set. 7. Garnish with mint and enjoy!
