Mango Float!

The most delicious frozen desert in the Philippines, and perhaps the world, is Mango Float. I got gutsy and made my own the other day. Here is how to make it:

Assemble ingredients. Mango, Cream, Evaporated Milk, Graham Crackers.

Slice up mangos into small slices. Be careful. mangoes are slippery and difficult to slice.

Next you mash up the grahams into crumbs. This is optional, some people just use them whole. Then you mix equal parts cream and evaporated milk.

Next you get a tupperware type container. Line the bottom with graham. Lay mango slices on top. Pour the creamy milky mixture over until the mangoes are covered. repeat! another layer of graham, another layer of mango, more milkcream. Do it again until the tupperware is topped out.

Then put it in the freezer until it is mostly or all frozen. When it's really really frozen it's hard to eat, and not very tasty, so it's better when it's kind of mushy frozen.

Last, grab a neighbor kid and give him mango float while you take his picture. Delicious!!
