- 4 ripe mangoes (peeled and diced)
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milkADVERTISEMENT
- 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
- 1 block (8 oz) Philadelphia-style cream cheese
- Juice of ½ lime (optional, for acidity)
- Mango cubes, lime zest, or mint leaves for garnish
Directions

2. Layer with Cookies
In an 8×8 or 9×13 inch glass dish, arrange a flat layer of Maria cookies. Cover with a generous layer of the mango cream. Use a spatula to smooth the top.
3. Repeat
Alternate between cookie and cream layers until you run out of ingredients, finishing with a thick layer of mango cream on top.
4. Chill and Set
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4–6 hours. For best results, let it chill overnight to allow the cookies to soften and merge with the cream.
5. Decorate
Before serving, garnish with extra mango cubes, lime zest, or even a swirl of whipped cream. You can also crumble some cookies on top for texture.
