WHERE DID THE MANGO GRAHAM FLOAT ORIGINATE?

We Filipinos are the real mango lovers in the world, which is why many Pinoy have been claiming that mango graham float should be added to the list of Pinoy classics. It is not confirmed yet if this is really ours, but we can trace the process of making mango graham float as an adapted version of Italy’s tiramisu.

Mango Grahams Float was trending a few years back since people are confused on how to really call this dessert. For your reference, here are the other names you can call this dish:

  • Mango grahams

Desserts conclude the end of a meal, which is why it is important for desserts to make an impact. Desserts are usually made sweet, to wash the oilyness and umay factor from your meal.

Mango graham float is my go-to dessert whenever it’s the mango season. You can get real good and real fresh ripe mangoes for a kilo. I usually buy a lot! Either they were eaten fresh or made into a dessert or jams.

Of course we love fresh mangoes but we love them more when they are made into a ref cake together with our favorite graham crackers. Another good news for the mango grahams is that the mangoes won’t spoil for another week.

HOW TO MAKE MANGO GRAHAM FLOAT

Float desserts like the mango graham float is one of the easiest desserts to make. For this recipe, we will be needing the help of an electric mixer to make this easier and faster.

After buying the milk ingredients, make sure to chill (not freeze) them first in the fridge before making the mango graham float the next day. Making the cream for the mango graham float is similar to making an ice cream so we need to keep the ingredients cold.

For the mangoes, get the ripest mangoes you can get. We want sweet and soft mangoes for this recipes, and not sour ones. One hack to get the mangoes out of its skin is to use a glass. Instead of the usual scraping using a spoon, simply pass the brim of the glass over the mango cheek to reveal the mangoes. After this, slice the mangoes however you want. In this recipe, I sliced them thinly.

For the cream, whisk the all purpose cream using an electric mixer until it doubles the size. It might take quite a few minutes to achieve this one. Then, add the condensed milk to make it sweet. Usually the sweetness is already enough after the condensed milk, but if you have a sweet tooth and wants to make it sweeter, you can add more condensed milk or simply sugar.

To make it into mango grahams, simply arrange the graham crackers, cream and sliced mangoes in a container. Dip the grahams first in evaporated milk to make it slighty soft. Not doing this step will make the grahams dry for later. Make sure that the last layer would be the sliced mangoes. Chill the mango graham float in the fridge overnight then consume the next day.

I really love mango graham float every after meal. You can also try this recipe using other fruits. Yum!
