Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 32 biscuits or as per pan
  • 2 large Mangoes
  • 240 ml or 1 cup whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoon sugar

Instructions
 

  • You can make this in a casserole dish or in a 9 x 4 inch loaf pan / 6-7 inch square pan. If you want to remove it from the dish and serve , line with parchment paper with two opposite sides long enough to hang over the pan edges ( so you can pull the dessert out after chilling )
  • Peel the mangoes and slice the flesh into thin strips ( doesn't have to be equal)
  • Pour your cream into the mixing bowl and place with bowl along with beaters or whisk in the freezer for 15 minutes
  • Beat the cream for a couple of minutes , then add the sugar and beat well until you have firm peaks . If you upturn the bowl, the cream shouldn't move.
  • In your prepared pan , place your biscuits . I used a 9x 4 inch loaf pan and placed the biscuits in 4 rows of 2 biscuits each. You can place as many biscuits as the size of dessert you want to make.
  • Spread about 1/2 cup of whipped cream on top and spread the sliced mangoes covering the cream uniformly.
  • Place another set of biscuits in the same manner and top with cream and sliced mangoes.
  • Repeat once more.
  • You can now place the last layer of cookies and cover with the remaining cream. You can decorate with any mango slices remaining / crushed biscuits if you wish.
  • Cover and chill for at least 3 to 4 hours or upto a day .
  • You can serve this chilled and slice directly from the pan . You can also freeze the pan for about an hour before serving , remove using the parchment paper and slice.
  • This can be served frozen as well !

Notes

This makes a small 4x6 inch dessert , you can make it as big or small as you want , adjusting the number of ingredients. 
You can also keep 3 layers of biscuits for a less tall icebox cake 
This is best served the next day after assembly but stays good for 2 days in the fridge
I used Britannia's Milk bikis but you can use any biscuits of your choice. If all you get are round biscuits , you can just break them up and layer to fill the space. The shape won't be visible after setting
You can use 1.5 cups cream if you want for a creamier dessert and more sugar for a sweeter one.
I used Himayat / Imapasand mangoes available in India but any sweet mango will do.
Freezing before serving helps get cleaner slices.
My measuring cup is 240 ml
