Filipino Mango Float

June 10, 2022

Jump to Recipe Jump to Video Print Recipe

Filipino mango float is a no bake dessert with layers of cream, mango and graham crackers. Its super easy to make but waiting to eat is agony! You will need to refrigerate the dessert overnight to ensure that the cream settles and the crackers become soft.

This dessert is perfect for ripe fresh mangoes. I’m not much of a baker myself, so this mango dessert was very easy for me to assemble. The filipino mango float also only uses 5 ingredients! It’s too easy to say yes to this simple and decadent dessert.

FREEZING INSTRUCTIONS:

Another option is to freeze overnight and take it out for an ice cream-like texture. If you freeze, let it sit for 30 minutes or until desired softness. This option makes for a delicious ice cream cake 😉

INGREDIENTS YOU NEED FOR YOUR MANGO FLOAT:

  • heavy cream, chilled overnight
  • sweetened condensed milk, chilled overnight
  • salt
  • ripe mangos
  • graham crackers

PRODUCTS I USED FOR MY DISH:

a can of longevity sweetened condensed milk
condensed milk sweetened

I recommend using this brand of condensed milk because its super flavorful and has the perfect amount of sweetness!

For the mangos, I also recommend yellow mangos (from the Philippines is even better!). I like waiting until its ripe so its super sweet. But be careful to not wait too long or else the mango gets too soft to cut.

STEPS TO MAKE THE MANGO FLOAT:

  1. Make sure your mangos are ripe and sweet. Peel the skin and slice mangos thinly or you can chop the mangos. Set aside.
  2. Whip heavy cream until soft peaks form. Then gradually add pinch of salt and condensed milk. Whip cream until stiff peaks form. Tip: chill the heavy cream, condensed milk, and bowl in the fridge for a few hours or overnight for easy whipped cream!
  3. Crush graham crackers until desired crumb or use the whole cracker without crushing. I like it crushed for a soft crumble texture.
  4. Let’s start layering the mango float in a 8 x 8 inch glass container or a large container. First lay the graham crackers. Then, whipped cream. Lastly, add sliced mango. Repeat one more time. For the last layer, add whipped cream and sliced mango. You can also add more graham cracker crumbs at the top for decoration.
  5. Cover the container and refrigerate overnight. Served chilled for soft texture (like bread pudding). Another option is to freeze overnight for ice cream texture. Before eating, thaw for 30 minutes or less depending on what texture you like.

    It was such a hit with my partner and kids! Loved it! I love mangos, my only error was not telling my SO to get more ripened mangos! Other than that recipe is 10/10!
    Will definitely keep it in my notes for more summer time desserts. Thank you!

I know I’m not the best wrapper lol don’t make fun of me pls. 🤓

Cooking Tip: If you make some modifications to the filling, you can make wontons and potstickers all at once. Although, you will need different types of wrappers: thin egg wrappers for wontons and thick ones for potstickers. There is also a difference in cooking methods as wontons are usually boiled while potstickers are pan-fried for a crispy exterior.

The easiest way to achieve flavor town is to add a The easiest way to achieve flavor town is to add a soy cured egg to your rice, noodles or any carb you wish (porridge and toast too!). The raw egg yolks are marinated in soy sauce, mirin & other goodies (bonito, kombu, garlic and onions) for a few hours or overnight. The textures and flavors vary depending on how long you marinate them for. I preferred marinating the eggs overnight (24 hours) to achieve a jammy and umami flavored egg yolk!

See my blog post (link in bio) to see detailed instructions and tips to make the perfect soy cured egg or google ‘soy eggs dana’ for the recipe!

I love adding this teriyaki glaze on everything! E I love adding this teriyaki glaze on everything! Especially on my katsu and donburi (rice) bowls . The teriyaki tastes slightly sweet, savory, and reminds me of donburi bowls in Japan! To get this authentic taste, I cook @mizkanflavors Mirin Sweet Cooking Seasoning, soy sauce, sugar and sake together. Adding extra slices of ginger helps with the gaminess of pork and balances the sweetness of the teriyaki glaze. The sauce is very versatile and can be used on many Japanese traditional dishes such as pork katsu, fish, chicken or steamed vegetables.

One of my favorite donburi is pork katsu! So, I created a tasty recipe that did not require oil frying. This air-fryer recipe comes very close to the fried version and tastes not as heavy. The exterior is crispy and fragrant! The best part is that I eat it with scrambled eggs, fresh rice and teriyaki. Hope you get to try out this delicious recipe!

Servings:  2 people
Ingredients- 

Air-Fryer Pork Katsu:
- 2 pork cutlets (boneless, ½-pound each)
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 egg, beaten
- ¼ cup panko bread crumbs
- ¼ teaspoon salt and pepper
- 1 tablespoon neutral oil (vegetable or canola)

Teriyaki Glaze:
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- ¼ cup Mizkan® Mirin Sweet Cooking Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 4 slices ginger, ¼ inch thick each approximately x-inch thick
- 1 tablespoon sake
