MANGO FLOAT RECIPE BY TASTY
This Filipino icebox dessert consists of layers of graham crackers, sweetened whipped cream, and ripe mango. Be sure to chill everything, especially the cream, condensed milk, glass dish, mixing bowl, and beaters for the mixer. This will help the cream whip more quickly and everything come together well during assembly. Thaw the float before serving, or serve slightly frozen. Enjoy with your favorite dessert wine, cocktail, coffee or tea!

Steps:
- Peel the mangoes and cut the lobes off as close to the pit as possible. Thinly slice half of the mango lobes into ¹⁄₁₆-inch (15 mm)-thick slices, keeping the slices intact and transferring to a tray or plate. Cover and refrigerate until ready to assemble. Cut the remaining mango into ½-inch (1.24 cm) cubes. Transfer to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate until ready to assemble.
- Add 2 cups of cream to a chilled large bowl and use an electric hand mixer to beat on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, 3-5 minutes. Add the remaining 2 cups of cream and beat again until stiff peaks form, 3-5 minutes more.
- Add half of the condensed milk and beat until fully incorporated. Add the remaining condensed milk, vanilla, and salt and beat until fully incorporated and stiff peaks form, 4-7 minutes. Give the mixture a final stir with a rubber spatula.
- Line a chilled 7 x 11 (17 x 27 cm) -inch glass dish with parchment paper, leaving overhang on all sides.
- Cover the bottom of the dish with a single layer of graham crackers, breaking to fill in any gaps as necessary. Spread 2-3 cups (480-720 ml) of the whipped cream mixture evenly over the graham crackers, all the way to the edges and corners of the dish. Top with ½ of the diced mango. Repeat to make another layer. For the final layer, arrange the graham crackers over the diced mango and top with 2-3 cups of whipped cream. Arrange the thinly sliced mango decoratively on top. Sprinkle crushed graham crackers around the edge of the float.
- Cover the mango float in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4-6 hours, until the cream sets and the graham crackers soften and absorb some moisture. Transfer the float to the freezer for 8 hours, or overnight.
- Remove the float from the freezer and use the parchment paper to lift out of the dish. Let thaw for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
- Serve with your favorite dessert wine, cocktail, coffee, or tea.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- In a mixer beat the cream on high speed until the volume increases and the mixture thickens about 3 minutes. Stop the mixer and gently stir in the condensed milk. Add the vanilla extract and mango puree. Adding a small amount of Honey is optional. I added it because the mangoes I had were sweet-tart so to balance it out I mixed some honey. I believe the small amount of honey made a difference in the taste, too. If your mango is already sweet it may not be necessary. Adjust the sweetness to your liking. Assemble the Graham Crackers on the bottom of a 9 x 13 glass baking dish (has to be freezer-safe). Fill in the gaps with smaller pieces. Spread 1/3 of the cream mixture on top of the Graham crackers. Arrange the mango slices on top of the cream. You can arrange them however you want to. Sprinkle with about 1/3 of the sliced Almonds. Repeat the process twice. For the third layer you can add some Maraschino Cherries for garnish. You can add as many Mango slices as you have available. Sprinkle with the remaining sliced Almonds. The next step is very important. Whether you are serving it in a few hours or the next day - you need to chill it properly. Immediately after assembling the dish, cover it with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer for at least an hour - preferably 2 hours. This will help set the cream. Transfer to the fridge and chill for another 1-2 hours and then serve. If serving it the next day then, after freezing it, just place it in the refrigerator overnight and take out and serve when needed. It should come out perfect and easy to slice and will not disintegrate. Can you see how yummy it is?
MANGO FLOAT
One of my favorite Filipino deserts. The recipe comes from my Filipino friend and helper, Marina. This desert can be made with two layers of filling or three depending on the size of your baking pan. I usually use a smaller glass pan with more layers, because I like the layers, it fits in the refrigerator better, and with the glass you can see the pretty layers. :) Cooking time doesn't include the time to chill in the refrigerator or freezer. Serving size can vary by the size dish you use. You can use a large dish with only 1 or 2 layers and take it to a potluck to feed many or a small dish for the family. I put the serving size for a smaller dish with 3 layers.

Tips:
- Choose ripe mangoes. Look for mangoes that are slightly soft to the touch and have a sweet aroma. Avoid mangoes that are too hard or have bruises or blemishes.
- Use fresh cream. Fresh cream will give your mango float a richer flavor and texture than evaporated milk or milk powder.
- Sweeten to taste. Add sugar or condensed milk to your mango float until it reaches your desired sweetness level.
- Chill before serving. Mango float is best served chilled, so make it ahead of time and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
- Garnish with fresh mint or mango slices. Garnish your mango float with fresh mint or mango slices for a refreshing presentation.
Conclusion:
Mango float is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give mango float a try!
