This refreshing no-bake Filipino Mango Float features layers of ripe mangoes, whipped cream, and graham crackers chilled to creamy perfection.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 ripe mangoes (not too soft)
  • 4 cups heavy cream or canned all-purpose cream, chilled overnight
  • 1 can condensed milk, chilled overnight
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 21 graham crackers, plus more crushed for topping

Instructions

  1. Peel the mangoes. Slice half of the mango lobes into thin ¹⁄₁₆-inch slices and refrigerate. Dice the remaining mango into ½-inch cubes and refrigerate.
  2. In a chilled large bowl, beat 2 cups of cream with an electric mixer on medium-high until stiff peaks form (3–5 minutes). Add the remaining 2 cups and beat again until stiff peaks form.
  3. Add half of the condensed milk and beat until incorporated. Add the remaining condensed milk, vanilla, and salt. Beat until stiff peaks form (4–7 minutes). Stir with a rubber spatula.
  4. Line a 7 x 11-inch glass dish with parchment paper, leaving overhang on all sides.
  5. Cover the bottom with a single layer of graham crackers. Spread 2–3 cups of whipped cream over them. Top with half of the diced mango. Repeat to make a second layer.
  6. For the final layer, arrange graham crackers over the mango and top with remaining whipped cream. Decorate with thin mango slices and sprinkle crushed graham crackers around the edge.
  7. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 4–6 hours until set. Transfer to the freezer for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  8. Lift the float out using parchment paper. Let thaw 5–10 minutes before slicing.
  9. Serve with dessert wine, cocktail, coffee, or tea.

Notes

  • Chill the cream and condensed milk overnight for best results.
  • Use ripe mangoes that are firm enough to slice cleanly.
  • Adjust sweetness by reducing condensed milk if preferred.
  • Freeze overnight for a firmer texture.
