📌 Ingredients

For the Cream Mixture

• 400 ml cold cream (whipping cream or heavy cream)

• 200 ml milk

• 1 can milk jam (dulce de leche) OR ½ cup powdered sugar

• 1 packet vanilla (or 1–2 tsp vanilla extract)

• 200 g cream cheese or mascarpone (optional but adds richness and stability)

For the Layers

• 1 packet graham crackers or petit beurre biscuits

• 3 ripe mangoes (cut into cubes or thin slices)

• ½ cup milk (for dipping/softening the biscuits)

For the Topping

• Mango purée

  • Blend 1 mango + 1 tbsp sugar

• Crushed graham crackers or shredded coconut (optional)🍰 Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Cream

1. In a deep, cold bowl, whip the cold cream until it doubles in volume and becomes fluffy.

2. Add the milk, cream cheese/mascarpone, vanilla, and milk jam/sugar.

3. Beat again until completely smooth and creamy.

4. Chill the cream in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes so it firms up slightly.

2️⃣ Build the Layers

1. Prepare a rectangular or square dish (glass dish works best).

2. Pour ½ cup milk into a shallow bowl.

3. Dip each graham cracker briefly into the milk — soft but NOT soggy.

4. Arrange a single layer of softened crackers at the bottom of your dish.

5. Spread a generous layer of cream on top.

6. Add a layer of mango slices or cubes.

7. Repeat: biscuits → cream → mango for 2–3 more layers, depending on your dish height.

8. Finish with a final layer of cream, then spoon mango purée over the top.

9. Add fresh mango slices and crushed graham crackers/coconut (optional).

3️⃣ Chill

Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
For best results, refrigerate overnight so the biscuits soften into a cake-like texture.

✨ Serving

• Slice and serve cold.

• Garnish with extra mango cubes, coconut, or graham crumbs.

• Excellent alongside iced coffee or a mango smoothie!

💛 Tips for Perfect Mango Grahams

• Use ripe, fragrant mangoes for maximum flavor.

• If you prefer a lighter dessert, choose powdered sugar instead of milk jam.

• Don’t make layers too thin — thick layers give the best texture and flavor.

• For a firmer cake, add more cream cheese or refrigerate longer.
