๐ A Sweet Slice of History
Carlota, or Charlotte, originally dates back to 18th-century Europe, where it was a cold dessert made with layers of ladyfingers and cream. Over time, it traveled across the world and took root in Mexico โ transforming into something uniquely delicious. With the addition of local flavors like ripe mangoes, this version has become a Latin favorite, especially during hot seasons.

- 1 block of cream cheese (Philadelphia-style, 190g or 8 oz)
- 4 ripe mangoes, peeled and chopped (the star of the show)
๐งโ๐ณ Instructions & Method
