Ingredients
Scale
Fruits
- 2 to 3 fresh ripe mangoes, peeled and sliced thinly
Crackers
- 1 package graham crackers (about 200g or enough to layer the dish)
Cream Mixture
- 2 cups all-purpose cream or heavy cream
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
Instructions
- Prepare the Cream Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose cream, sweetened condensed milk, and evaporated milk. Whip gently until smooth and creamy, ensuring the mixture is well blended but not overly thick.
- Slice the Mangoes: Peel and slice the mangoes into thin, even pieces. Uniform slices improve texture and presentation.
- Layer the Graham Crackers: Arrange a single layer of graham crackers at the bottom of your serving dish. Break pieces if necessary to fit snugly but avoid crushing them into crumbs.
- Add Cream and Mango Layers: Spread a generous layer of the cream mixture over the graham crackers, then add an even layer of mango slices. Repeat these layers until ingredients run out or desired height is reached, finishing with a cream layer on top.
- Chill and Set: Cover the dessert with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow flavors to meld and graham crackers to soften into a melt-in-your-mouth texture.
Notes
- Use ripe mangoes for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
- Allow sufficient chill time for the dessert to set and layers to meld properly.
- Layer evenly for consistent texture and flavor in every bite.
- Choose quality, fresh graham crackers to avoid sogginess.
- Serve the dessert cold to maintain its refreshing creaminess.
