“This four-ingredient wonder is the perfect Pinoy potluck dessert. Use Graham crackers instead of digestives from your local Asian grocer for that authentic Filo taste.” – Mark Mariano.

You’ll need to start this recipe a day ahead, and you’ll need 12 small serving glasses or jars. You can also layer this dessert in a large baking dish.

300ml thickened cream
395g can sweetened condensed milk
2 x 355g packets digestive biscuits (we used McVities)
4 (1.5kg total) mango, peeled, flesh thinly sliced

Method

1.

In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whisk cream and condensed milk until firm peaks form, scraping side of bowl occasionally.
2.

Place one of the sliced mangoes in an airtight container, chill and reserve for serving. To assemble, place one biscuit in the base of each glass or jar. Top each with a few slices of mango, then 2-3 tbs of the cream mixture. Repeat layers once more. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
3.

The next day, top each dessert with the reserved mango slices and crumble over remaining biscuits. Serve.
