Whether you’re making it for a summer family lunch, a casual party, or just because it’s too hot to bake, this dessert is simple, quick, and always a hit. Let’s dive into its story, its creation, and the pure joy it brings to the table.


📜 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

  1. 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.

  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Serve & Devour
    Slice into squares and serve chilled. Optionally, garnish with mango slices or mint leaves for a touch of elegance.
