Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream, chilled
- 1 cup condensed milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2–3 ripe mangoes, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 pack (200 g) graham crackers
- Crushed graham crackers, for topping
Instructions
- Make the cream mixture: In a large bowl, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold in condensed milk and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Layer the cake: In a rectangular dish, arrange a single layer of graham crackers at the bottom. Spread a layer of the cream mixture over the crackers, then top with sliced mangoes.
- Repeat: Continue layering graham crackers, cream, and mangoes until all ingredients are used, finishing with cream and mango slices on top.
- Add topping: Sprinkle crushed graham crackers over the final cream layer.
- Chill: Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4–6 hours (overnight is best) until the cake is set and the crackers have softened.
- Serve: Slice into squares and enjoy chilled.
Notes
- Use ripe, sweet mangoes (like Carabao or Ataulfo) for the best flavor.
- For a lighter version, use all-purpose cream instead of heavy cream.
- Can be made 1–2 days in advance—the longer it chills, the better the flavor.
- Try adding layers of peaches, strawberries, or mixed fruit for a twist.
