### 👩🍳 How to Make Mango Carlota
#### 1. **Prepare the Mango Cream**
In a blender, combine the chopped mango, condensed milk, evaporated milk, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust for sweetness or acidity.
#### 2. **Layer the Dessert**
In a glass dish or loaf pan, spread a thin layer of the mango cream at the bottom. Add a single layer of Maria cookies over it. Continue alternating layers of cream and cookies until you run out, finishing with a layer of mango cream on top.
#### 3. **Chill Until Set**
Cover and refrigerate for at least **4 hours**, or preferably overnight. The cookies will absorb the cream and soften, creating a beautiful, cake-like texture.
#### 4. **Garnish and Serve**
Top with fresh mango slices, a sprinkle of lime zest, or a few mint leaves for a lovely presentation. Slice and serve chilled!
