  • 1 1/2 cups graham crackers crushed

Preparation

  • Peel and slice the mangoes thinly. Set aside the slices for layering in the dessert.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold in the sweetened condensed milk until fully combined.
  • In a 9-inch round cake pan, spread a thin layer of the cream mixture. Add a layer of crushed graham crackers, followed by a layer of mango slices. Repeat the layers, finishing with a layer of cream on top.
  • Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
  • Once chilled, slice the mango float into servings. Garnish with additional mango slices or a sprinkle of crushed graham crackers before serving.
  • Keep any leftovers covered in the refrigerator. The mango float is best consumed within 3 days for optimal freshness.
