Mango Royale

With delicious layers of sweetened cream, graham crackers, and Manila mangoes, Mango Royale is the perfect Summer treat! This Filipino icebox cake is creamy and refreshing with loads of fresh fruit flavor. A favorite for all occasions.

I've wanted for months to make mango royale, but Philippine mangoes were not yet in season, and I couldn't find any, even at Asian supermarkets. I tried to satisfy the cravings with an espresso version, but although it was delicious in its own right, nothing can come close to the bright, summery flavors of our classic Filipino icebox cake in my book!

I guess good things do come to those who wait, for here it is, finally, my take on mango float! With soft clouds of sweetened cream and generous bits of sweet mangoes between softened layers of graham crackers, it's definitely worth the anticipation.

If you're looking for a no-fuss dessert, this no-bake mango graham cake needs to be on your list. It's so easy to put together; all you need are four ingredients and twenty minutes of prep. The hardest part of the recipe is waiting for the cake to set!

Ingredient notes

• Use heavy cream with at least 30% milk fat content for sturdy foam and better peaks. You can also substitute Nestle's all-purpose cream, but it doesn't whip to the same volume.
• You can swap the graham crackers with broas (lady fingers) or digestive biscuits if you like.
• Use Manila mangoes as they're sweet, aromatic, and less fibrous. If you can't find them in the U.S., the closest cultivar is the Ataulfo mangoes. For variety, try strawberries, avocados, canned peaches, or fruit cocktail.

When I am not too pressed for time (or too lazy), I like to use mango puree instead of diced mangoes. I hope you try this method as well, as it does up the flavor. I included both ways in the recipe card below for your convenience.

Before we proceed, may I suggest more mango goodness in your life? Try this Grilled Shrimp Mango Avocado Salad; it makes a delicious side dish or light meal. No need for an ice cream maker to enjoy this homemade No-churn Mango Ice Cream! Ice cold Mango Nectar is one of the best ways to refresh on hot summer days!

How to serve and store

• This no-bake mango float is delicious frozen. Remove from the freezer a few minutes before serving to soften slightly for slicing. Using the parchment paper overhang, lift the cake from the pan, place it on a serving platter, and cut it into squares.
• To store, cover the pan tightly with plastic film and freeze for up to one month.
