Ingredients
- 2 large ripe mangoes (peeled and diced)
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
- 1 cup heavy cream (or whipping cream)
- Juice of 2 limes
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 package Maria cookies (or graham crackers)
- Extra diced mango or lime zest for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Make the Mango Mixture:
In a blender, combine the diced mango, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, heavy cream, lime juice, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy. - Layer the Carlota:
In a rectangular or round dish, spread a thin layer of the mango cream. Add a layer of Maria cookies over it. Pour more mango cream over the cookies, spreading evenly. Continue layering cream and cookies until you finish with a top layer of cream. - Chill:
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight. This allows the cookies to soften and the Carlota to set perfectly. - Serve:
Garnish with extra diced mango or lime zest before serving for a fresh touch. Slice, serve cold, and enjoy this refreshing no-bake treat!
