It is exciting to make and very delicious to eat. Perfect when served as an after-party dessert for a birthday celebration, or as a simple snack that your family can enjoy together.
Graham floats have been a favorite of Pinoys since they started making them for celebrations and festivities. They usually call the dessert refrigerator cake because it only requires a few hours inside the refrigerator before it gets served. We use canned peaches, fruit cocktail, and fresh mangoes to make these floats. Mangoes are the most famous, we use them the most since it is abundant in the Philippines.
This recipe, however, makes use of strawberries. The result? A unique twist to the Filipino dessert. Plus, you don’t have to worry about the other ingredients since they will just be the same. It just needs preparation similar to the original mango variation.
There are lots of desserts that we can make with strawberries. But this time, I decided to give my family something Filipino. I served it to them after our meal and they really loved it. How about giving it a try?
