Here’s a classic Homemade Mango Carlota recipe—creamy, fruity, and no-bake!
Ingredients
-
1 can (370 g) condensed milk
-
1 can (300 ml) evaporated milk
-
1/2 cup heavy cream (optional, for extra creaminess)
-
2–3 ripe mangoes, peeled and sliced or pureed
-
1 pack of graham crackers (about 200 g)
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
Optional: extra mango slices or whipped cream for topping
Instructions
-
Prepare the mango puree:
-
Peel and slice the mangoes.
-
Blend 1–2 mangoes until smooth. Keep a few slices for layering or decoration.
-
-
Mix the creamy filling:
-
In a bowl, combine condensed milk, evaporated milk, heavy cream (if using), and vanilla extract.
-
Add the mango puree and mix until smooth.
-
-
Assemble the Carlota:
-
In a rectangular or square dish, layer graham crackers at the bottom.
-
Pour a portion of the mango cream mixture over the crackers, spreading evenly.
-
Repeat layers: crackers → mango cream → crackers → mango cream until the dish is full.
-
Finish with a layer of mango cream on top.
-
-
Chill:
-
Refrigerate for at least 4–6 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the graham crackers to soften and absorb the cream.
-
-
Serve:
-
Decorate with reserved mango slices or a dollop of whipped cream before serving.
-
Cut into squares and enjoy cold.
-
Tips:
-
For a stronger mango flavor, use 3 ripe mangoes and a little mango extract if available.
-
You can lightly brush graham crackers with orange juice or milk to soften them faster.
-
This dessert keeps well for 2–3 days refrigerated.
