- Pour the mango jelly on top of the graham layer. Spread it out so it’s level. Let it chill.
- In a bowl, add the Nestle All-Purpose Cream. Make sure to chill it beforehand so it is stable. Add condensed milk and beat it until it doubles in size.
- Scoop an ample amount of cream and place a layer over the chilled mango jelly. Place another layer of graham crust. Make sure to flatten it. Finish it off with a layer of cream.
