Ingredients  of Mango Float

• Fresh Mango: The star of this dessert! Use ripe, sweet mangoes like Carabao, Alphonso, or Honey mango for the best flavor and color. Slice them thinly or into cubes — their natural sweetness and vibrant golden hue make every layer of this cake burst with tropical goodness. Here in Indonesia, I use Mango gedong gincu, it has a unique smell, a combination of apple and mango
• Heavy Cream chilled: Chilled heavy cream gives the dessert its rich, velvety texture. When whipped, it turns light and airy, creating that luscious creamy layer that balances the sweetness of the mango. Make sure it’s well chilled before whipping so it thickens beautifully.
• Sweetened Condensed Milk: This adds just the right amount of sweetness to the cream layer. It also enhances the milky flavor that pairs so well with the mango’s natural tang. Actually, you can omit this too if you don’t want it too sweet.
• Crackers: Classic graham crackers are traditionally used, but you can use Marie biscuits or any plain tea biscuits too. They soften as they absorb the cream, turning into a cake-like texture without baking — one of the reasons Mango Float is such a beloved, easy no-bake dessert!

How to Make Mango Float

First, beat the chilled heavy cream until it forms soft peaks. Then, pour in the sweetened condensed milk and continue beating until the mixture reaches stiff peaks. Set it aside — this will be your rich and fluffy cream base.

Second, peel the fresh mangoes and slice them neatly, like cutting a steak. Set the slices aside; these will be the highlight of each layer.

Next, arrange a single layer of crackers at the bottom of a rectangular dish. Spread a generous layer of the whipped cream mixture over the crackers.

Then, add a layer of sliced mango on top of the cream. Repeat the layering process — crackers, cream, and mango — until all ingredients are used.

Finally, finish with a layer of cream on top and garnish with extra mango slices or piped cream for a beautiful finishing touch.

Cover and refrigerate the Mango Float for at least 4 hours or, even better, overnight to let the layers set and the flavors meld together. Slice, serve, and enjoy the creamy, tropical sweetness in every bite! Enjoy your Mango float!
