When I was a child in the Philippines, my mother made mango float all of the time in the summer. She made the dessert from the mangoes that my father harvested from our farm. Mango float is a no-bake, four-ingredient dessert made popular by The Philippines, whose national fruit is the mango. The chilled dessert consists of sweet, ripe mango stacked between layers of whipped cream and held together by crisp graham crackers. This results in a splendid cake-like dessert that’s ideal for summer.

This summer has seriously felt like the season of dips. Between the viral, few-ingredient homemade recipes and the just-as-loved store-bought ones, my potlucks have never had a shortage of creamy, delicious dips.

If you’ve spent any time on the internet in the past year, you’ve likely come across the stainless steel tumbler frenzy. In all sincerity, there’s a lot to appreciate about these tall, durable drinking vessels and their hefty handles.
