Storage and reheating
- Fridge: up to 4 days
- Freezer: yes, up to 1 months

Ingredient substitutions
Graham cracker
- Crushed graham cracker: Use the same weight and press gently for a softer crumb layer.
Mango
- Ripe mango: Choose fragrant ripe mango for the classic sweet tropical flavor.
Condensed milk
- Milk and sugar: Simmer together until thick before cooling, then use only when condensed milk is unavailable.
Cream
- Milk: The filling will be looser, so chill longer before slicing.
