Mango Float ^_^




I love Mango Float for dessert :) I like the combined taste of Mango, cream and milk. This dessert is easy to prepare. You can do it for about 30 minutes but you have to store it in freezer to let it cool which makes it more tasty :) Try it.. below are the ingredients you'll need.

Ingredients:
Ripe Mango ( you can also add your favorite fruits)
Cream
Condensed Milk
Graham biscuits ( you can use your favorite bread/biscuit)

Preparation:

  • In a bowl mix well the cream and condensed milk. Set aside.
  • Sliced the mango according to your desired size. Or you can just scrape it using a spoon.
  • In a separate food container, layered the graham first then pour in the cream and milk mixture and on top of it pour in the slices of mango. Just repeat the process until your desired thickness of your mango float.
  • When done, place it in a freezer for about an hour or two.
  • Enjoy it after your meal :)
