The weekend is always
my favorite time of the week because it’s the chance I get to spend with my
favorite boys without having to stress about work or worry about school and
it’s OUR moment together to relax or bond. For me, that’s what makes up a great
weekend. :)
During those two
days, there are times that we go out, find something new to do or stay at home.
In the case of just being indoors, my family and I often watch home movies and
eat home cooked meals. But it’s rare that we get to do our own dessert and
since the boys are dessert fiends, I decided to do something fun and yummy with
them – create our very own Mango Float!
Doing Mango Float is
quite new to me since I’ve never done it before. Though, I have eaten it a few
times already and always see it a lot online. Since this was fairly new, I’m
glad I had a recipe book to help me with. :)
For this one, our
main ingredient is the M.Y. San Honey
Grahams. :) This one, I am very much familiar with because as a kid, my mom used to bake a
lot at home and she would use M.Y. San Honey
Grahams for her delicious blueberry cheesecake crust and if you ask
me, that was my favorite part! ^_^ I learned cooking and baking from her, but I
have to admit that I still have so much to catch up on!
I’m glad that there
are several variants now of M.Y. San
Grahams. I remember how my mom would put crackers in a plastic bag
before and use a roller to crush them. Sometimes I would help her do that task
hihi! Now, we have the original M.Y. San Honey Grahams, M.Y. San Chocolate
Graham Crackers and the M.Y. San Crushed Grahams! :)
Before it was baking
with my mom and now, I get to do the same with my kids! I guess you can say
that ever since, M.Y. San Grahams already
played a role in our homes bonding time. :)
For this Mango Float,
what you’ll need are:
INGREDIENTS:
(2) 200g M.Y. San Honey Grahams
(2)
Cups of all-purpose cream
(1
1/2) cups of condensed milk
(3)
Ripe mango
* I personally had to double the
ingredients for this because I used a large pan and the original recipe on the
book I think only covered a small one.*
Below is a sample of
what 1 cup of All Purpose Cream and ¾ cup of Condensed milk looks like and
basically, you just add two of each in a bowl. :)
PROCEDURE:
1.
DO
FILLING – In a bowl, combine chilled
cream and condensed milk
2.
LAYER
– Layer M.Y. San Honey Graham Crackers on
the bottom of a rectangular or square pan (whichever you have at home). Pour
cream, then followed by mangoes. Repeat process to make 2 or 3 layers, ending
with the cream and top with mangoes.
3.
CHILL
and SERVE!
Since we weren’t able
to do this, I want to highly recommend it to you, guys instead. :) You can use a hand mixer or whisk to give you
a much fluffier cream for your Mango Float. Ours was thin, so I think its best
to whisk it up for thicker and better consistency. :)
I think being a parent in this day and age, it’s
important to bond and spend as much time with your kids, because they grow up
so fast. One minute they’re this tiny and the next, they’re off on their own
adventures. Having moments like this with them teaches them the value of family
time and taking it slow in this fast paced world.
I’d like to believe
that boys should learn how to bake or cook too! So, this is an added skill for
them! ;)
This is a really easy
dessert to do with your little kids since it requires no oven time or any
tedious steps. :) They even enjoyed layering so much that I only had to do the top part haha! :)
After 2-3 hours,
here’s our very own Mango Float! :) I think, not too bad for first timers, right? ;) Can’t wait to do more M.Y. San Graham recipes with my boys!
If you also want to
