Homemade Mango Carlota: The Dessert That Never Fails on Hot Days

How to Make Homemade Mango Carlota

1. Prepare the cream mixture: In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold in the sweetened condensed milk and mango puree until smooth and well combined. Add lime zest or juice if desired for extra freshness.
2. Layer the dessert: In a glass or ceramic dish, spread a thin layer of the mango cream mixture. Arrange a single layer of María cookies or graham crackers on top. Repeat layers, finishing with the cream mixture on top.
3. Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. The cookies will soften, and the flavors will blend beautifully.
4. Serve: Garnish with fresh mango slices or a sprinkle of toasted coconut if you like. Slice and enjoy chilled!

Tips for the Best Mango Carlota

• Use ripe, sweet mangoes for the freshest flavor.
• Adjust sweetness by tasting the cream mixture before assembling.
• For a lighter version, substitute some cream with Greek yogurt.
• Try adding a layer of crushed nuts for texture.
