The Ultimate Mango Float: An Easy No-Bake Filipino Dessert

Serving square slices of the finished Mango Float at a party.

A simple, no-bake Filipino dessert, also known as Mango Graham Cake. This recipe involves creating a sweet, airy cream by whipping heavy cream with condensed milk and vanilla. This cream is then layered in a square baking dish, alternating with layers of graham cracker crumbs and fresh, diced ripe mangoes. The dessert is chilled for several hours until set, resulting in a soft, creamy, and refreshing treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • One 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (from a 9-ounce package)
  • 3 ripe mangoes, diced

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract.
  2. Beat with a hand mixer until the mixture doubles in volume and forms soft peaks, about 4 minutes.
  3. Spread a scant 2 cups of the cream mixture into the bottom of an 8-inch square baking dish.
  4. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of graham cracker crumbs over the cream, followed by a layer of one-third of the diced mangoes.
  5. Repeat the layering process two more times, for a total of 9 layers, ending with a final layer of mangoes on top.
  6. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours, or overnight, until the dessert is set.

Notes

  • An 8-inch square baking dish is required for this recipe.
  • Ensure the mangoes are ripe for the best flavor.
  • The dessert needs to chill for a minimum of 8 hours to allow the graham crackers to soften and the layers to set properly.
