Mango Grahams (Cold Mango Cream Fridge Cake)
A no-bake, ultra-creamy dessert layered with soft graham crackers, fluffy vanilla cream, and fresh, juicy mangoes. Perfect for summer days and best served ice-cold!
Ingredients (Serves 6–8)
For the Cream Layer
400 ml cold whipping cream
200 ml milk
1 can milk jam (dulce de leche) or ½ cup powdered sugar
1 packet vanilla sugar or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
200 g cream cheese or mascarpone (optional, for extra richness)
For the Layers
1 packet graham crackers or petit beurre biscuits
3 ripe mangoes, sliced or cubed
½ cup milk (for lightly soaking the biscuits)
For the Topping
Mango purée (1 mango + 1 tablespoon sugar, blended smooth)
Crushed biscuits or shredded coconut (optional)
Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the Cream
In a deep bowl, whip the cold whipping cream until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
Add the milk, vanilla, milk jam (or powdered sugar), and cream cheese/mascarpone.
Whip again until smooth, creamy, and well combined.
Refrigerate the cream for 10–15 minutes to firm up slightly.
2️⃣ Assemble the Layers
Prepare a rectangular or square serving dish.
Quickly dip each biscuit into the milk—do not soak, just soften.
Arrange a single layer of biscuits at the bottom of the dish.
Spread a generous layer of cream over the biscuits.
Add a layer of fresh mango slices or cubes.
Repeat the layers 2–3 times, depending on dish depth.
Finish with a thick cream layer on top.
Spread the mango purée over the surface and garnish with mango slices.
3️⃣ Chill & Set
Cover with plastic wrap.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, until fully set and sliceable.
Serving Suggestions
Slice and serve well chilled
Garnish with crushed graham crackers, coconut, or extra mango
Pairs beautifully with iced coffee, milk tea, or mango juice
Helpful Tips
Use very ripe mangoes for the best flavor and sweetness.
For a lighter dessert, skip the milk jam and use powdered sugar instead.
Avoid thin layers—thicker layers give better texture and taste.
Keeps well in the fridge for up to 3 days.
