Savor the tropical delight of peach mango float — a beloved Filipino dessert that layers sweet peaches and ripe mangoes with creamy whipped filling and graham crackers. This easy, no-bake treat is perfect for celebrations or a refreshing finale to any meal, capturing the essence of summer in every bite.
Peach mango float is a popular Filipino dessert known for its refreshing, tropical flavors and simple preparation. Its origins trace back to the Philippines, where it became a staple at gatherings and celebrations thanks to its ease and crowd-pleasing appeal.
The recipe involves layering slices of sweet peaches and ripe mangoes with whipped cream or condensed milk and graham crackers, creating a luscious, chilled treat without baking. Each layer is repeated until the dish is filled, then refrigerated to allow the crackers to soften, resulting in a cake-like texture.
What makes peach mango float especially interesting is its versatility—variations abound, with some using different fruits or adding cheese for a savory twist. The combination of tangy mangoes, juicy peaches, and creamy filling offers a delightful balance of flavors and textures, making it a perfect dessert for hot weather or festive occasions.
This no-bake peach mango float recipe from Pepper.ph is exceptionally easy, relying on simple layering and minimal mixing, although it requires patience for the mandatory overnight chilling time to set properly. The flavor is a bright, tropical fusion of intensely sweet condensed milk and the fresh, juicy notes of mango and peach chunks. The addition of cream cheese adds a delightful, subtle tanginess and a rich, fluffy texture to the whipped cream that balances the overall sweetness.
Peach Mango Float
Ingredients
- 6 mangoes, peeled
- 2 large cans peaches, drained
- 1 block (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 300ml condensed milk
- 2 cups all-purpose cream
- Graham crackers
Directions
- Dice 2 whole mangoes and 2 whole peaches (or 4 peach halves). Set the diced fruit aside. Thinly slice the rest of your mangoes and peaches for layering. Set aside.
- Using a hand mixer or a whisk, beat the softened cream cheese and condensed milk together in a chilled bowl until fully incorporated.
- Add the all-purpose cream and whip until the mixture is smooth, lump-free, and forms soft peaks. Be careful not to over-whip.
- Switch to a rubber spatula and gently fold the diced mangoes and peaches into the whipped cream mixture. Set aside.
- Layer graham crackers into the bottom of a casserole or deep baking dish. (Break crackers to fill in gaps if necessary.)
- Add about ⅓ of the whipped cream mixture over the crackers and spread it evenly with a rubber or offset spatula. Top this layer with a portion of the sliced peaches and mangoes.
- Top the fruit with a layer of graham crackers. Continue layering until you reach the top of the dish, ending with a neat layer of sliced fruit over the cream.
- Cover the dish with cling film and refrigerate overnight, or freeze for 4–6 hours. (If freezing, allow it to thaw for 10–20 minutes before serving if it is too frozen.)
