How to Prepare Mango Float: A Delicious Summer Treat
Summer is the perfect season to enjoy refreshing and delicious desserts, and one classic treat that never fails to satisfy is the mango float. This tropical dessert combines the sweet, juicy flavor of mango with a creamy topping, making it a favorite among dessert lovers. In this article, we will guide you through the simple steps to prepare a mouthwatering mango float that will impress your family and friends.
Ingredients
Before you start preparing your mango float, gather the following ingredients:
– 1 ripe mango
– 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
– 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1/2 cup powdered sugar
– 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 8 ounces of ice cream (any flavor of your choice)
– 8 small glasses or cups
Instructions
1. Prepare the Mango: Start by washing the mango thoroughly. Cut the mango in half and remove the pit. Use a spoon to scoop out the flesh from the mango and dice it into small pieces. Set aside.
2. Mix the Cream: In a large bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix well until the ingredients are fully combined and the mixture is smooth.
3. Layer the Glasses: Take your small glasses or cups and begin layering the ingredients. Start with a layer of diced mango at the bottom of each glass. Then, pour a thin layer of the cream mixture over the mango. Repeat this process until the glasses are filled, ending with a layer of cream on top.
4. Freeze the Floats: Cover the glasses with plastic wrap and place them in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the floats to set. This will ensure that the cream is firm and the dessert is easy to eat.
5. Add Ice Cream: Once the floats are set, remove them from the refrigerator. Add a scoop of ice cream on top of each float. You can use any flavor of ice cream you prefer, but mango or coconut ice cream would complement the dessert perfectly.
6. Chill and Serve: Place the glasses back in the refrigerator for an additional 30 minutes to an hour, allowing the ice cream to soften slightly and blend with the cream. Serve chilled and enjoy your delicious mango float!
Conclusion
Preparing a mango float is a simple and enjoyable process that yields a delightful summer dessert. With just a few ingredients and some patience, you can create a tropical treat that will bring a smile to everyone’s face. So, gather your friends and family, and enjoy a refreshing mango float this summer!
