This Filipino Mango Float comes together in about 30 minutes (no baking required!) for a quick dessert that your family will absolutely love!

Ingredients for Filipino Mango Float

To whip up this delightful Filipino Mango Float, here’s what you’ll need:

3 ripe mangoes, sliced – Sweet, tender, and juicy
1 cup heavy cream : For that dreamy, creamy texture
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk : This adds that essential sweetness
1 pack (about 200g) graham crackers : Perfectly crunchy and absorbent
1/2 cup milk (for dipping the graham crackers) Just enough to soften them

Let’s Get Cooking!

Ready to create this delightful dessert? Here’s how to make your own Filipino Mango Float:

Whip the cream: In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer. Just watch for when it holds its shape but isn’t too stiff, perfect for folding into the next step!
Combine with milk: Gently fold in the sweetened condensed milk into the whipped cream. It should look rich and creamy, with a lovely sweet aroma that makes your mouth water!
Layer the graham crackers: Grab a rectangular dish and layer the graham crackers at the bottom. I usually do it snug to maximize that crunchy texture!
Dip the graham crackers: Dip each graham cracker quickly in milk (just a few seconds). You want them sweet and soft but not soaked through, too much milk will make them mushy!
Spread the cream mixture: After laying the dipped crackers, spread a layer of the cream mixture over them. Just pour it in and gently spread it out to cover all the crackers.
Add mango slices: Now, for the star of the show! Add a layer of those luscious sliced mangoes on top of the cream, spreading them evenly. You can be generous here, more mango equals more flavor!
Repeat the layers: Continue layering like this until all your ingredients are used up, finishing with a cream layer on top. I love making two or three layers to keep those flavors coming!
Chill it all: Pop your mango float in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours (or overnight if you’re patient!) to let it set up nicely. When it comes out, it’s a glorious blend of flavors and textures!
