This No-Bake Filipino Mango Float is a luscious, layered dessert featuring ripe mangoes, fluffy whipped cream, and crunchy graham crackers. Perfectly sweet and creamy, it requires no baking and only a few simple ingredients, making it an ideal treat for hot days or when you want a quick, impressive dessert.

Ingredients

Mangoes

  • 4 ripe mangoes, peeled and cut into thin strips

Whipped Cream Mixture

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • ½ cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Base

  • 2 sleeves of graham crackers

Instructions

  1. Prepare the mangoes: Peel the mangoes and slice the fruit into thin strips. Set these aside for layering.
  2. Make the whipped cream mixture: In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Beat on high speed until stiff peaks form to create a light and fluffy cream.
  3. Layer the base: Arrange a layer of graham crackers evenly at the bottom of a 13x9-inch baking dish to form the crust.
  4. Add whipped cream: Spread one-third of the whipped cream mixture evenly over the graham crackers to create the first creamy layer.
  5. Top with mangoes: Layer one-third of the sliced mangoes over the whipped cream. Repeat this layering process two more times with graham crackers, whipped cream, and mangoes until all ingredients are used.
  6. Refrigerate: Cover the baking dish tightly with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set properly.
  7. Serve: Once chilled and set, cut the mango float into squares, serve chilled, and enjoy this creamy, fruity Filipino classic.

Notes

  • Use ripe, sweet mangoes like Ataulfo or Carabao for best flavor.
  • For a lighter version, you can substitute heavy cream with whipped topping, but texture may vary.
  • If you prefer a firmer texture, chill overnight instead of 6 hours.
  • Graham crackers can be substituted with ladyfingers or similar biscuits if desired.
  • Covering the dessert well during refrigeration prevents it from absorbing refrigerator odors.
