    What to look for: All ingredients and tools are ready on the counter

  2. Mix Sweet Cream

  3. Slice Mango

    Cut the peeled mango into thin even slices, saving any soft edges to tuck into gaps between the graham layers. · 8 min

  4. Build Graham Base

    What to look for: Bottom of the dish is covered with a neat cracker layer

  5. Add Mango Layer

    Cover the graham crackers with sweet cream, then lay mango slices across the surface so each serving gets fruit. · 5 min

    What to look for: Mango slices sit in an even creamy layer

  6. Repeat Layers

Storage and reheating

  • Fridge: up to 4 days
  • Freezer: yes, up to 1 months
  • Serve chilled. Do not reheat, because the cream will loosen and the mango will soften too much.

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.
