2️⃣ Assemble the Layers
- Prepare the dish: Use a rectangular baking dish or square container. Glass containers work especially well because the layers become visible and add to the presentation.
- Moisten the biscuits: Lightly dip each biscuit into the milk—just enough to soften the edges without letting them collapse. Properly moistened biscuits absorb the cream beautifully while keeping their shape.
- Form the base layer: Arrange the biscuits in a single flat layer at the bottom of the dish, covering the entire surface.
- Add the cream: Spread a generous layer of the chilled cream over the biscuits, smoothing it evenly with a spatula so it fills the gaps between the biscuits.
- Add mango: Arrange mango slices or cubes over the cream. Use ripe, juicy fruit for the best flavor—each piece should be bright, fragrant, and sweet.
- Repeat layers: Continue layering biscuits, cream, and mango 2–3 times depending on the depth of your dish. Each layer should be thick enough to create distinct textures.
- Finish the top: Spread a final layer of cream. Add a swirl of mango purée, then decorate with extra mango slices for color and shine.
3️⃣ Resting
Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours—overnight is best. During this time, the biscuits soften and blend seamlessly with the cream, creating a smooth “mango cloud” texture that slices beautifully.
Serving
- Slice and serve cold for the freshest flavor and firmest layers.
- Add crushed graham crackers, coconut, or extra mango on top for garnish.
- Pairs wonderfully with iced coffee, cold brew, or a mango smoothie.
Tips
- Use fully ripe mangoes—they should be sweet, aromatic, and soft to the touch.
- For a lighter version, use powdered sugar instead of milk jam for the cream.
- Make layers slightly thicker for the best flavor contrast and structure.
