Equipment

  • 8-inch cake pan with removable bottom
  • Mixing bowls
  • Spatula
  • Knife and spoon

Ingredients
  

Graham Crust:

  • 2¼ cups crushed graham crackers (about 24 crackers)
  • ½ cup melted butter
  • 3 tbsp sugar

Cream Layer:

  • 3 packs (250ml each) chilled all-purpose cream (Nestlé or similar)
  • ½ cup condensed milk (adjust for sweetness)

Mango Layer:

  • 3–4 ripe mangoes 2–3 sliced thinly for layering and 1 mango cubed or sliced for topping

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Crust:
    Combine crushed grahams, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until evenly moistened. Set aside and divide into 3 portions.
  • Prepare the Mangoes:
    Slice off the two large sides of the mango by cutting along the seed.
    Use a spoon to remove the skin from the mango cheeks.
    Cut the mango into thin slices, about ¼ inch thick.
    Place the mango slices on a plate or in a container, ready to use.
  • Make the Cream Filling:
    In a bowl, mix the pre-chilled all-purpose cream with condensed milk until smooth. Do not overmix. Divide into 3 equal parts.
  • Layer the Dessert:
    In an 8x2" cake pan with a removable bottom, press one layer of the graham mixture evenly.
    Add a layer of the cream mixture and spread evenly.
    Arrange a layer of mango slices on top.
    Repeat the process for the second and third layers.
  • Finish with Mango Topping:
    Decorate the top with cubed or thinly sliced mangoes as desired.
  • Chill and Serve:
    Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight for best results. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

Pro Tips & Variations:

  • Chill the Cream Overnight: This gives the cream a thick consistency for better layering.
  • Use Sweet Mangoes: Overripe or fibrous mangoes will affect flavor and texture—choose fragrant, smooth varieties like carabao or ataulfo.
  • Adjust Sweetness: Add more or less condensed milk depending on your preference.
  • Add a Crunch: Sprinkle chopped nuts or crushed grahams on top before serving for added texture.
  • Use Other Fruits: Substitute or mix with bananas, peaches, or strawberries for a twist.
