Units
Scale
- 2 cups heavy cream or all-purpose cream (chilled)
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 12–15 graham crackers
- 2 ripe mangoes, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup crushed graham crackers (for topping)
Instructions
- In a bowl, whip chilled cream until it starts to thicken. Add condensed milk and vanilla extract, and continue whipping until smooth and fluffy.
- In a rectangular glass dish, layer graham crackers at the bottom to form a base.
- Spread a layer of the cream mixture evenly over the crackers.
- Add a layer of mango slices on top of the cream.
- Repeat layers—crackers, cream, mangoes—until all ingredients are used, ending with a cream layer.
- Sprinkle crushed graham crackers on top and decorate with additional mango slices.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4–6 hours or overnight for best flavor and texture. Serve chilled.
Notes
- Use ripe, sweet mangoes like Carabao or Ataulfo for authentic flavor.
- Chill the mixing bowl and beaters for faster whipping.
- Can be made a day ahead—flavors improve overnight.
- Use crushed graham crackers between layers for a different texture.
