Ingredients for Mango Dessert Cups

  • Graham crackers – Finely ground. About one and a half sleeves of graham crackers to make two cups.
  • Unsalted butter – Melted.
  • Cream cheese – Room temperature.
  • Sweetened condensed milk – 14-ounce can.
  • Lemon juice – Fresh squeezed lemon juice brightens the flavor of the mango filling.
  • Mango – Use fresh or frozen (thawed) mango. Puree in a food processor or blender until it is smooth.
  • Heavy cream – Helps the mango filling whip up to be light and fluffy.

How to Make Mango Dessert Cups

To make the filling, I recommend using a hand-held electric mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment.

  1. In a medium bowl, stir together graham cracker crumbs and melted butter.
  2. Portion the crumbs into 28 2-ounce plastic cups. Use one of the plastic cups to press the crumbs into the bottom of the individual cups.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk until combined and smooth.
  4. Add the lemon juice and mango puree and mix until combined.
  5. Add in the heavy whipping cream and whip on medium-high speed until light and fluffy.
  6. Fill a piping bag with the mango mousse mixture and pipe it into the cups until about 3/4 full.
  7. Top each dessert cup with finely diced fresh mango cubes.
  8. Seal the cups with a lid and chill. The cups can be served immediately or stored in the fridge for 2 to 3 days.

Mango Dessert Cups Recipe Tips

Plastic cups

The plastic cups with lids can be found on Amazon or at your local party supply store. This recipe makes approximately 28 2-ounce cups. This is an estimation. You may have a few more or a few less depending on how much filling you pipe into the cups!

Graham cracker crumbs

Use a food processor to make the graham cracker crumbs. Be sure the crumbs are very fine for best results!

Mango puree

Use fresh or frozen mango! I prefer to go with fresh to make sure that it is very sweet and ripe. Puree the mango in a food processor until it is very smooth for the best texture for the filling.

Storing and serving

These dessert cups can be stored in the refrigerator for about 2 to 3 days. I love serving these dessert cups right out of a cooler at parties or picnics! The dessert cups can stand out at room temperature for about an hour.

  1. Can I use without the condensed milk? Can I substitute with icing sugar? Thank you

    1. Hello! It would probably work with icing sugar, however, I haven’t tested the recipe using it, so I can’t say for sure how it would work and I am unsure of the amounts.
