  1. Peel and thinly slice the mangoes, then set aside a few cubes for garnish.

  3. Spread a thin layer of cream into the baking dish, then layer graham crackers, cream mixture, and mango slices.
  4. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with cream on top.
  5. Top with crushed graham crackers and fresh mango cubes.

Notes

For best results, chill overnight so the graham crackers soften into a cake-like texture.
