How to Make Mango Icebox Cake

  1. Crush 1 ½ cups graham crackers into crumbs. Mix with ¼ cup granulated sugar.
  2. Melt ¼ cup unsalted butter and pour over the graham cracker crumbs. Mix until evenly moistened.
  3. Press half of the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of an 8x8 inch baking pan. Firmly pack it down for an even base.
  4. Arrange half of 2 ripe mangoes, thinly sliced, over the graham cracker crust.
  5. Sprinkle 1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) of unflavored gelatin over ¼ cup cold water in a small bowl. Let it bloom for 5 minutes.
  6. Microwave the bloomed gelatin for 10-15 seconds, or until completely dissolved. Stir gently.
  7. Beat 8 ounces cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add 1 (14 ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk and 1 cup heavy cream.
  8. Continue beating until the mixture is light, fluffy, and well combined.
  9. Gradually add the dissolved gelatin to the cream cheese mixture, mixing until fully incorporated.
  10. Pour half of the cream cheese mixture over the layer of mangoes in the baking pan.
  11. Spread the remaining graham cracker crumbs evenly over the cream cheese layer.
  12. Pour the rest of the cream cheese mixture over the graham cracker crumbs.
  13. Arrange the remaining mango slices on top for garnish.
  14. Cover the pan and freeze for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until firm.
