As always, the show ends on a sweet note: this time, with fresh and fluffy Mango Float, made with fresh or canned fruit and a handful of ingredients.
MANGO FLOAT
Ingredients
- 5 ripe mangoes or more, as needed (canned peaches or fresh strawberries can be substituted, if desired)
- 2 cups whipping cream
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 t vanilla extract
- 1/2 box of Honey Maid wafers or graham crackers
Instructions
- Peel the mangoes, slice in half and then slice the cut halves lengthwise into thin strips. Set aside.
- Using an electric mixer, beat the whipping cream in a medium bowl until it doubles in size and has the consistency of Cool Whip. Add condensed milk and vanilla extract; mix until well combined.
- Put a layer of graham crackers at the bottom of an 8-inch square glass baking dish or any similar container, filling the gaps with trimmed crackers. Spread 1/3 of the cream mixture evenly on top of the crackers, and then top with a layer of mango slices.
- Place another layer of graham crackers, cream mixture and slices of mango; repeat the process one more time, ending with slices of mango.
- Refrigerate the mango float overnight to set completely before serving.
