### 👩🍳 How to Make It
1. **Blend the filling:**
In a blender, combine chopped mango, condensed milk, evaporated milk, and lime juice. Blend until smooth and creamy.
2. **Layer the dessert:**
In a rectangular or round dish, spread a thin layer of the mango mixture on the bottom. Add a layer of Maria cookies, then more mango mixture. Repeat layers until the dish is full, finishing with the mango cream on top.
3. **Chill to set:**
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (overnight is best) to allow the cookies to soften and the flavors to meld.
4. **Garnish and serve:**
Top with fresh mango slices, a dollop of whipped cream, or mint leaves before serving.

### 🍴 Tips & Variations
* **Make it extra tropical:** Add a bit of coconut milk or shredded coconut between layers.
* **Swap the fruit:** Use peaches, pineapple, or even passionfruit for a different twist.
* **Add texture:** Sprinkle crushed nuts like almonds or pistachios for crunch.
* **For a firmer version:** Use a bit of cream cheese in the mango filling to give it a more cheesecake-like body.
