Ingredients
Mangoes
- 6 ripe yellow mangoes
Dairy
- 3 cups heavy cream, chilled (720g)
- 1/2 can sweetened condensed milk (7oz or 200g), can be adjusted to taste
Cookies
- 64 Biscoff cookies (about 2 packs), can substitute with graham crackers if preferred
Instructions
- Prepare Mangoes: Peel and chop the mangoes; thinly slice 2 mangoes for decoration and chop 4 into small cubes for layering. Smaller cubes allow for easier serving and a balanced texture in the float.
- Whip Heavy Cream: In a large bowl, whisk the chilled heavy cream on medium speed until it thickens and forms ribbons but has not reached stiff peaks.
- Add Sweetened Condensed Milk: Gradually add the sweetened condensed milk to the whipped cream, continuing to whisk on medium speed until the mixture forms stiff peaks. Be careful not to overmix to maintain a light, airy texture.
- Prepare Pan: Use a 9×9 inch baking pan for assembling the float. For easy removal, line the pan with parchment paper leaving overhang on two sides; otherwise, you may serve directly from the pan.
- First Layer Assembly: Arrange a layer of Biscoff cookies at the bottom of the pan, spread one-third of the whipped cream mixture evenly over the cookies, then generously add the chopped mangoes on top.
- Second Layer Assembly: Repeat the layering process: cookies, whipped cream, then mangoes.
- Final Layer and Topping: Place another layer of cookies followed by the remaining whipped cream. Finish with sliced mangoes and crushed cookies on top for decoration.
- Chill: Cover the pan with cling wrap and refrigerate overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set properly.
- Serve: The following day, slice the mango float into portions and serve chilled. Enjoy this creamy, fruity dessert!
Notes
- Use ripe but firm mangoes for the best flavor and texture.
- If Biscoff cookies are unavailable, graham crackers make a good substitute.
- Adjust the amount of sweetened condensed milk to suit your preferred sweetness level.
- Whip the cream just enough to achieve stiff peaks; overwhipping can cause it to become grainy.
- Line the pan with parchment paper for easy removal if you want neat slices outside the pan.
- Allow the dessert to chill overnight for the best consistency and flavor melding.
