Filipino Mango Graham Float
This Filipino Mango Graham Float is an effortless crowd-pleaser made with only 7 simple ingredients! But don't let that fool you, this easy no-bake dessert is next level with layers of juicy mango chunks, browned butter graham crackers, & the fluffiest whipped cream for a summertime dessert no one’s going to be able to put down!
Ingredients
- 4 large ripe mangos*
- 2 ½ cups Graham crackers crushed
- ¾ cup butter unsalted
- 3 cups heavy cream chilled
- 3 tablespoons condensed milk* chilled
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract optional
Instructions
- Place a large metal bowl & whisks in the freezer for 10 -15 minutes and keep the heavy cream and condensed milk in the fridge until you’re ready to whip everything up. If you could do this overnight, even better! This will give the whipped cream more structure and volume later!
- In a small pot, make the browned butter by melting the butter on medium heat for 5-8 minutes, or until you can see brown bits at the bottom of the pot. Keep a close eye so it doesn't burn & quickly remove once it's done.
- In a large bowl, combine the browned butter to the crushed graham crackers until it has a texture similar to wet sand.
- Add about 1/3 of crushed graham crackers, or as much as needed to cover the bottom of an 8-inch x 8-inch dish, then gently press down to create an even layer. Place in the freezer to set while preparing the rest of the ingredients.
- Prep the mangos by slicing on either side of the seed, then very carefully score 2 1/2 mangos in crisscross for chunks and other 1 1/2 mangos in slices. Be very careful not to cut all the way through the peel, then use a spoon to scoop out the flesh. Set aside.
- Make the whipped cream by whipping the heavy cream in the chilled metal bowl and whisks. Whip on low to medium-low speed for about 10 minutes, or until you see a trail follow the whisk. Add the condensed milk, salt, and vanilla extract (if using). Whisk for about 3 - 4 minutes or until stiff peaks are formed. Avoid overwhipping because it can cause separation.
- Assemble Mango Float. Add 1/2 of the whipped cream to the crust, then mango CHUNKS, and 1/2 remaining browned butter graham crackers. Then, layer remaining whipped cream, browned butter graham crackers, then place mango SLICES decoratively on top. Cover in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for 3 hours. Or, place in the freezer for ice cream cake and thaw about 30 minutes before serving. Slice & enjoy!

- Key Tips for the Perfect Whipped Cream
- Adjusting Sweetness
- Chill or Freeze?
- Mangos: Use ripe Manila or Ataulfo mangos for the most flavorful Mango Float with much more natural sweetness! You'll know they're ripe when the peel is a deeper yellow and has a little give to them when you press into them.
Alternatives:
Coconut Cream: Swap heavy cream for coconut cream or full-fat coconut milk for a subtle coconut flavor. Chill the cans overnight, use the thick cream on top, whip into coconut whipped cream. It's denser than heavy cream, but pairs wonderfully with fresh mangos! Kid-Friendly Recipe: Make it easier for the kids! Melt butter in the microwave instead of using the stove for browned butter. They'll still create a delicious dessert to proudly share with loved ones!

Key Tips:
Prep Your Fridge / Freezer: Before whipping together your dessert, make sure to clear space in your fridge or freezer to save time. You don't want your Mango Royale sitting out for too long while you're clearing space out the fridge/freezer. Easily Remove Mango Float: Line the dish with parchment paper, leaving an inch overhang on each side to easily remove it from the dish. Key Tips for the Perfect Whipped Cream: Chill your tools and ingredients (metal bowl, whisk, heavy cream, and condensed milk). For even better results, chill them overnight. Whip low/medium-low & slow to create tiny bubbles, giving you a stable whipped cream that won't deflate easily. Adjusting Sweetness: Before adding the condensed milk, taste your mangos! Ripe mangos are naturally sweet, so you can reduce the amount of condensed milk for a less sweet dessert. Chill or Freeze? Once your dessert is assembled, let it chill in the fridge for at least 3 hours to firm up the Mango Float. Alternatively, pop it in the freezer for an ice cream cake-like texture and thaw for about 30 minutes before serving.
