by

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced (plus extra slices for garnish)
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 pack of Maria cookies (or graham crackers)
  • Juice of 1 lime (optional, for brightness)
  • Whipped cream (optional, for topping)

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Make the Mango Cream:
    In a blender, combine diced mangoes, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and cream cheese. Add lime juice if using. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  2. Layer the Dessert:
    In a rectangular dish or loaf pan, spread a thin layer of mango cream at the bottom. Add a layer of Maria cookies. Pour more mango cream over the cookies to cover. Repeat layers until you run out of ingredients, finishing with mango cream on top.
  3. Chill:
    Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best texture.
  4. Garnish and Serve:
    Garnish with mango slices or whipped cream before serving.
