📜 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 — 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.
🍽️ Ingredients
- 2 packages of Maria cookies (classic & crunchy)
- 1 can of condensed milk (sweet and rich)
- 1 can of evaporated milk (smooth and creamy)
- 1 block of cream cheese (Philadelphia-style, 190g or 8 oz)
- 4 ripe mangoes, peeled and chopped (the star of the show)
🧑🍳 Instructions & Method
- Blend the Cream Base
In a blender, combine:- The condensed milk
- Evaporated milk
- Cream cheese
- Chopped mangoes
Blend until silky smooth and fully combined. This is your mango cream heaven.
- Layer the Love
In a rectangular glass dish (or any deep dish), start layering:- A layer of Maria cookies, covering the bottom completely.
- Pour a layer of the mango cream on top.
- Repeat the layers until the cream is gone, finishing with a creamy top layer.
- Chill & Set
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4–6 hours, preferably overnight. The cookies will soften beautifully, absorbing the mango flavor. - Serve & Devour
