Hello my beloved Steemians! How is your day? Here in my country it's pretty hot since it's summertime. Going to the beach and pool would be a nice idea to refresh and enjoy summer and also with a slice of this mango icebox cake, your summer is gonna be great. :-)
So today, I am making this famous dessert famously known as "Mango Float" which is made up of fresh ripe mangoes, all purpose cream, condense milk and graham crackers.Some people call it mango float, mango cake, graham cake or mango tiramisu.
Watch this VIDEO for a full recipe adventure!
This dessert is very popular in our country. It's always present in the menu specially during Christmas & New year, birthdays and whatever celebrations. There are even mango floats sold in single servings at grocery stores, or ice mango float candies around the neighbourhood.
In our family occasions, we always have mango float on the table since it's my bro's favourite. He would always request that so I'm basically kind of used to the recipe and for many times already made my own versions and also well experimented the procedure.
If you’re vegan, you can substitute all purpose cream with coconut cream and condensed milk with coconut milk and coconut sugar.
So here’s my recipe.
INGREDIENTS
- 3 ripe mangoes cut into cubes
- 3 tbsp coconut sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 250 g all purpose cream / coconut cream (vegan)
- 1 can sweetened cream or condensed milk (coconut milk + coconut sugar)
- 1 pack graham crackers
- 1/2 cup crushed graham crackers
- almonds and desired nut toppings
DIRECTIONS
- In a blender, add mangoes, coconut sugar and vanilla. Pulse until smooth. Set aside.
- In a bowl, mix all purpose cream and condensed milk and whisk until well combined and fluffy.
- On a cake tin, layer graham crackers.
- Spread a third of cream condensed mixture on top of graham crackers using a spatula.
- Repeat step 4 and 5.
- Pour mango mixture and spread evenly on top of cream.
- Sprinkle generous amount of crushed grahams on top and pour remaining cream.
- Shower with your favourite nuts. Refrigerate and serve.
:-)
See you on the next cookntell.
Love,
Jayne

Watch More of My Recipe VIDEOS!
I have to be honest with you guys. I don't really call it vain or self adornment but I am just addicted to watching my food videos. It feels like a meditation and a therapy for me. It is basically the sound and art in the kitchen. The sound of the fork, the spoon, the knife, the cutting board, the water, the mixing, the squeezing, the blending and everything in it sounds like in a grand symphony: a kitchen live music. For me, it is just sooo soothing. It's the reason why I put audio on my videos so you guys can experience a different way to watch too. So I wanna share with you some of videos here:

Should not be looking at this post while I'm fasting right now... drooling....
Hehe. Thanks @roselifecoach. Oh you do fasting as part of your health? I mean spiritual or physical? :-)
It's the fasting month for Muslim right now. :)
@roselifecoach Oh I see that. 👍
:D
That's great @cookntell
Thank you @bakhtiarzehri :-)
This is an epic dessert! I'll definitely try it. Will have to change some ingredients as I'm vegan but I'm sure it will have no impact on that taste :)
Thanks @delishtreats for dropping by. Sure please try it and let me know how it goes. Maybe you can substitute all purpose cream with coconut cream and condense milk with coconut milk and just add in some good amount of coconut sugar. That'd be great! I love coconut so most of the time I always use it when I'm cooking and baking. But this time I went against my rule. Haha. Since I wanted to make the typical Mango float that uses basically the cream and condense milk. If you're making your own please upload it and tag me. I will gladly resteem it. Have a good day! :-)
Thank you @cookntell for coming back to me. Great tips! I love coconut milk so I'm sure it's gonna taste delicious! I will definitely tag you :) Have a good day too!

PS: What camera are you using?
Hello @dmilliz for visiting my blog. Glad you like it. :-) I was a Nikon user but now shifted to Sony mirrorless cams. For this post, I used my Sony alpha a6500. :-)
Ah yes I’ve been looking at the Sony, very easy to carry around. Thanks , these are great pics, they really make the food like like a fantasy:)
That dessert looks amazing, and the video and graphics are great. Very professionally done.
So, it sounds like this dessert is made for special occasions, but I could see how I'd probably want to make a special occasion out of any day, just to have some. :)
It's interesting though how foods, especially desserts revolve around particular holidays and events. I guess that helps them from becoming commonplace if they were eaten all the time, preserving their status as a special treat. Otherwise, we might all get bored of them.
Okay, maybe not this particular treat. Guess I better try it. :)
Hello @glenalbrethsen for visiting my blog. Glad you liked it. And please let me know it goes whenever you wanna try it. :-) Have a good day and see yo around.
