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.
