Why Mango Graham is the Perfect No-Bake Dessert

This dessert is popular for good reason: it’s quick to make, doesn’t need baking, and tastes even better after chilling. The sweetness of mangoes pairs beautifully with the creamy filling and slightly softened graham crackers. It’s light, refreshing, and always hits the spot.

Best of all, you can make it ahead of time and let it chill until you’re ready to serve.

How to Make Mango Graham Float Step-by-Step

Step 1: Mix the Cream and Condensed Milk

A hand pours sweetened condensed milk from a can into a metal bowl filled with sour cream.

In a large mixing bowl, pour in the all-purpose cream and the condensed milk.

Step 2: Whip Until Light and Fluffy

A metal whisk stirs a creamy white mixture in a stainless steel bowl, likely preparing a sauce or batter on a dark countertop.

Whisk the mixture until it thickens and doubles in volume. An electric mixer makes it faster, but using a hand whisk works too. You’re aiming for a smooth, fluffy texture.

This creamy mixture is what brings the whole dessert together.

Step 3: Scoop Out the Mango Flesh

A person uses a glass to separate mango flesh from the peel over a cutting board, with a plate in the background.

Peel each mango and use a glass to scoop out the flesh. This method is quick and helps get the most out of each fruit.

Step 4: Slice the Mango Thinly

A sliced mango and a knife rest on a wooden cutting board.

Cut the mango into thin slices. This helps them layer smoothly and adds a soft bite to the dessert.

Step 5: Prepare the Graham Crackers

A single rectangular graham cracker partially soaked in milk on a white plate with a blue rim.

Dip each cracker in evaporated milk for 1 to 2 seconds. This makes them soft enough to blend into the layers without turning soggy.

Step 6: Lay the First Layer of Crackers

Six graham crackers are arranged in a single layer at the bottom of a white rectangular dish on a dark countertop.

Place a single layer of soaked graham crackers at the bottom of your container.

Step 7: Spread the Cream

A white rectangular dish filled with a layer of smooth, pale yellow batter or mixture, sitting on a dark countertop.

Add a layer of the cream mixture. Use a spoon or spatula to spread it evenly.

Step 8: Add Mango Slices

Sliced mangoes arranged on top of a creamy batter in a white square baking dish, ready to be baked.

Place a layer of thin mango slices on top of the cream.

Step 9: Repeat the Layers

A square white dish filled with a creamy base topped with neatly arranged slices of ripe yellow mango.

Repeat the process: crackers, cream, mango, until your container is almost full.

Step 10: Finish and Chill

A square white dish containing a dessert with layers of cream, yellow fruit, and a generous topping of crushed brown biscuits or cookies.

Sprinkle crushed graham crackers on top as the final layer, then cover your container and refrigerate for at least 2 to 3 hours. For best results, chill overnight to let the layers set and the flavors blend beautifully.

Step 11: Serve and Enjoy

A square slice of layered dessert with cream and crumbled biscuit topping on a floral-patterned plate, placed on a brown countertop.

Slice into squares and serve cold. Each spoonful is a mix of creamy, fruity, and just the right amount of sweet.

Tips for Making the Best Mango Graham Float

Want to take your Mango Graham to the next level? Here are some helpful tips:

Chill your cream before whipping. Cold cream whips better and gives a fluffier texture.
Use ripe mangoes with a deep yellow color. These are naturally sweet and juicy.
Don’t soak the grahams too long. A quick dip in evaporated milk is enough to soften them without making them mushy.
Use a clear container. It shows off the beautiful layers and makes serving easier.
Let it chill longer. The flavors blend better after 4 to 6 hours, or overnight for best results.
