Had the worst day at work today. Got home and saw this video. Within 2 seconds I am instantly feeling better. Things Emmy for being my stress relief. Your smile lights up my day.
This recipe is similar to our Mango Float recipe. Instead of the crackers we use honey graham crackers. Soaking the crackers with evaporated milk, layer of cream mixture then mangoes. Repeat few times topped with crushed graham crackers. Served chilled and comes out so delicious.
My wife is from Davao in the Philippines, and she makes mango float with nestle cream (think something between heavy cream and half-and-half if you're an American who's never had nestle cream) instead of evaporated milk, but otherwise exactly as you describe. It's a delicious summertime desert.
I would add the zest to the custard AND as a garnish I might also add cherries somehow because I love Cherry and lime together. I also think you can use ANY Citrus in this recipe, meaning lemons, limes, grapefruit, oranges, clementines etc but yes the Zest in Citrus holds the oils and the oils are where that Gorgeous smell is, and smell is a Big part of flavor.
It’s so interesting with the alchemy of how the citrus interacts with the dairy! It’s how my mother does non-bake cheese cake as well by just adding a bit of lemon juice to the cream cheese filling, which gives it a lovely tang too. Absolutely stellar 😋
We are living in South America as volunteers and bought a bunch of Ducales for our emergency bag. Didn’t know they were Colombian! I’ll try this dessert.
Similar to the Ritz in taste and density, but rectangular for a better fit, the Keebler Club Cracker might be the ideal US-available building material for this.
This is a Columbian (like the South American continent) dessert and not a Southern U. S. dessert. Salty, buttery crackers, like Club or Ritz, are a perfect balance for the sweet condensed milk. I can't imagine using sugary graham crackers along with all the sweetened condensed milk. Salt balances sweet in desserts.
I have been invited to an Independence Day event this year, I believe I’m going to make single serve desserts for the guest using this recipe, the little dessert cups that I can drop the Ritz down in to layer. This seems so light and refreshing. I might freeze them!
I feel like making them single serve would take so long to layer and assemble...try an old catering hack and make it in the pan, but then use a biscuit or cookie cutter to make individual serving sizes. Drop it into cupcake papers and voila! (Try this with costco giant pumpkin pies at the holidays and you've got easy to eat single serve pumpkin pies for crowds!)
In Portugal we make this too, it's called Bolo de bolacha '"cookie cake". It uses a traditional cookie, not too sweet, and a type of buttercream between layers. The cookies are dunked into coffee, and then you assemble it just like this one. Is amazing! You should try it
Jajajaja I knew this was Colombian the moment I saw it! My sister would make it every couple weeks 🤤 if you like chocolate you can replace the lime with Milo (a type of power chocolate milk) and it SLAPS!
I’ve been making the Marias one regularly since you posted the video two years ago! It’s so easy and so delicious, we make it probably once every couple of months, for no reason whatsoever. I’ve made it with friends, with my siblings, to take places. We just made it today because my family came over for lunch. I absolutely will try this one, especially because my husband is from Colombia. Thank you so much Emmy! You’re awesome!
Omg Emmy! I'm from Colombia and this is my favorite dessert to make ever since I was a kid. I loved to see you making it specially with Ducales. Loved the video, thank you
@@danielaarias1560 Thank you so much Daniela! I can read a "little" Spanish, so I wanted to poke around and see all the different variations of this. I was not disappointed!!!! Now I want to make the strawberry jam one too! And dulce de leche!
I love your juicer, never seen one before. This is the first time I hear anyone speak about the burn caused by lime juice. One spring my cousin and I had this happen to our fingers. No one knew what it was and our typing teacher wouldn't let us use the typewriters in case we were contagious. This was in the late 60's. My mother finally took us to another doctor who happened to be from Mexico, he laughed because he knew exactly what it was. I remember that it took a long time for it to go away. 😂 This recipe looks wonderful. 🌻🐕🥰
As an allergist I know about this. But you have to ask the right questions. People don’t always remember that they were exposed to lime juice and then sun.
I heard of it quite awhile ago. They called it Margarita burn. Was happening to bartenders working on the beach ended up with burns on their fingers and hands from squeezing and slicing lemons and limes while being exposed to the sun. It's not just the juice it's the oil in the peel which makes it even worse.
I feel like these cool, bright, citrus-y desserts are perfect for this time of year and summer months - and the fact that is no-bake, and you don’t add additional heat to your house to make it is 👨🍳 💋 (chefs kiss) perfect
I make a “Poor man’s eclair” icebox cake with Graham crackers that looks similar to that. But it’s a totally different flavor profile bc it’s layered with vanilla pudding and whipped cream and topped with a chocolate glaze that firms up like icing in the fridge. So yummy though!
Thanks Emmy! I tried this for the first time. Used Club crackers for the base, lemon juice vs lime, and strawberry powder with one of the cream layers. So so so good!
I feel mentioning that it is SWEETENED condensed milk is important. Our office uses the regular condensed milk, which is unsweetened and absolutely disgusting, as a coffee whitener. Nothing ruins coffee quite like condensed milk as a creamer 😔
@@newttella1043 I had no idea that there was an unsweetened version of condensed milk. I've only seen the sweetened version. Learn something new everyday 😊
I'm in tears rn...I'm a Colombian living overseas, and the fact that you made my favorite dessert as a kid, and the one I was able to make, is just so many memories...not to mention the Ducales, my favorite cracker ever, and I can't get them where I live. You make my day :) Thank you 🥰
Mom made no-bake key lime pie this way for many years but without heavy cream or crackers. My sister upgraded Mom's recipe by adding extra lime zest to the filling. Incredible flavor!!!
I enjoy how you test and compare ingredients from around the world. Your videos broaden world views and tear down "walls" of prejudice and hate. Great job
👍I love icebox cakes! Quick, easy, delicious. I typically use graham crackers for these. My aunt used to make a similar dessert except with lemon juice, and a traditional or graham cracker crust. Always good!
I liked Emmy's suggestion of using them so it tastes like key lime pie but it might be too mushy and sweet. My other thought was that if you started with the base layer being graham cracker and then did the Ritz or even Saltine for the other layers it might be good.
I just put one made with Townhouse crackers into the fridge. I think they would be a good alternative to the Ducales, which are certainly not easily available in British Columbia, Canada. The Townhouse cracker has a lighter texture than Ritz; they’re more rectangular; and they’re not as salty.
She went back to the Ritz for the second bite so I'm going for that & I won't have to chase down the other type of cracker. This will be perfect with our sushi anniversary lunch! Thanks!
Thanks Emmy! I love your videos and how positive and fun they are to watch. I'm going to try this one over the weekend. We have a cookout to attend and this will be a great dessert to bring!
Love it!!!!! I used to make that dessert with the exact sabe ingredients, including Ducales. We have another version using Pasión Fruit juice o jugo de Maracuya instead of lime juice. You should try it!
Sounds delicious. I wonder if Keebler Club crackers would work better. Also wonder if more filling between the layers would soften the crackers better. Hmmm.... Definitely going to play around with this. Thanks.
Juice-O-Matic!! For sure from the mid 1960’s if not before. My mom still has hers and as she was giving lots of her kitchen stuff away I forbade her from giving that away 😂 Best juicer ever!!
I imagine it would taste amazing wth graham crackers too. Actually, graham crackers and a cheesecake sauce would make an scrumptious new recipe. I need to try both! I really enjoy custard and creamy desserts.
First video I saw. I enjoyed watching it. Entertaining and calming. So nice to find something so easy to make. From scratch cakes just take time and these days it is a dump cake or store bought.
I wonder about how many different tweaks to this we could implement to spice it up. Things like a dollop of whipped cream cheese or adding strawberry purée and lemon extract for a strawberry limeade or mango purée that would be (muah) 👨🏽🍳😚🤌🏽 Chefs kiss 😊 lol you guys are more than welcome to reply with other combinations ❤
I immediately thought of strawberry limeade, too! It's my favorite summer flavor. I was thinking of a blueberry lemonade version, as well. My town has a Blueberry Fest coming up and I think the latter would be fun to try. Also one with thinly sliced kiwi. 😋
@@mesummika569 maybe try, if you can find, unsweetened frozen orange juice concentrate and cool whip. I think that would would have that type of flavor. 😊
Would be a pain, but each layer being a different citrus with the top layer being a mix of all the remaining + zests Lime, lemon and orange to keep it simpler tho but hints of grapefruit or others could be interesting
I just made this! The custard was so luscious and delicious! I even made sure I had some custard left over to fill some grahams cracker tart shells I had. We shall see how that went! Is it tomorrow yet? I can’t wait to test the cake!
Nana used to make something very similar to this for a desert for one of the eight nights of Passover. The cream and the sweetened condensed milk ingredients were the same. But she’d use fresh squeezed lemon juice. For the cracker ingredient but she’d use matzos quickly dipped in whole milk and then put into the pan.
Ive made this cake probably 5 times since discovering it a few months ago. Every time it was a hit and a complete success! One thing I skipped was the frosting on the bottom, it basically just serves as glue to keep the cake in place, and I’ve found it made it harder to cleanly remove a piece without leaving the bottom layer stuck to the bottom of the pan. Also, the ducales crackers are the perfect size that you can honestly skip the pan, make up the custard/frosting, and just make a single piece of cake by stacking the ducales crackers one on top of the other. Refrigerate or freeze the remaining frosting for anything cake preparation (portion it out in a cupcake pan with silicon liners before freezing).
Not sure if it’s a uniquely Australian thing or not, but a similar technique is used to make chocolate ripple cake. Just 2 ingredients: chocolate ripple biscuits (Arnott’s brand) and whipped thickened cream (I think in the US it’s called heavy cream). Assemble the same way you did with these ‘cakes’, refrigerate overnight, then eat. So yummy!
@@Insertcoolnamehere4200 Thank you, I was aware as such but I was trying to make a distinction between hand-whipped cream as opposed to whipped cream in a can, which often has added sugar and/or preservatives. Fresh cream is best when making chocolate ripple cake.
We used to be able to get Nabisco “Famous” chocolate cookie wafers with which we would layer whipped cream. It is my favorite no bake dessert but our local stores don’t carry the choc wafers.
I watched this video probably 15 times before I actually got to make the dessert a month later. I couldn’t remember what it was called so I called it cracker cake. So easy and delicious!!!
Here in brazil this desert is called Pavê, but we use Cornstarch biscuits often a red pack of 200g from the Piraquê brand called "Biscoito de Maizena" (Maizena Biscuits), they get much softer than this other kinds of crackers and they gave that mouth feel of just melting in your mouth. I suggest you try our version of it and maybe make a comparison.
I make something similar to this with unsalted soda crackers. You layer the crackers with alternating layers of prepared vanilla instant pudding and Cool Whip then you top the dessert with a can of your fave fruit flavoured pie filling and a final layer of Cool Whip. Then you must let the finished dessert sit at least 24 hours before serving so the crackers absorb the moisture from the pudding and Cool Whip, as it almost transforms them into puff pastry. So very easy and so very delicious!
New England - we have them everywhere in NYC and trip state area. Lots cheaper than the internet, too. Evaporated milk will make a whipped cream and Jell-o added to that makes an old ice box cake. It's an old Woolworths' ice box cake recipe. Please be aware lemon and lime juice/rind will take the enamel off teeth. Thank you for a lovely summer dessert!
I’m definitely trying this! I have a few dietary issues but I found gluten free ritz and a quick web search let me know that coconut milk (and yeah they have coconut sweetened condensed) does curdle with lime, sooooo yeah it’ll be significantly different but I would love to have a dessert like this to take to family gatherings!
I made this yesterday and it's insanely good and so easy. I used Clubhouse crackers because I thought they'd be lighter and fluffier and it turned out great. I think next time I'll use more lime so it's a little more tart but otherwise it's an amazing recipe.
I just wanted to share that I love watching your videos. You are easy to relate to and enjoyable to watch and learn from. I made mochi from one of your videos, and will make this next. You have a lovely sense of humor! Thank you for your videos.
For a second there, I thought you were burning a condensed milk candle lol and thought “only Emmy“ but then I realized it was just a reflection from your string lights I believe that are hanging behind you. The recipe looked delicious. I might try something like that this summer. I’m a long time viewer of yours I think you’re an absolute delight, you’re beautiful inside and out and I wish you a wonderful fun and safe summer for you and your family. Tons of love and good vibes sent your way from Kentucky. -Derek ;) 🌈
I'm going to make this; I adore citrus! I'll share with the cool kids (most of us are in our 60's) who hang out in the smoking area of our apartment building to smoke and gossip 😂 Oh, Emmy, that juicer works so well. I must keep my eyes peeled for things like that in the thrift stores I visit.
I think I had this pie one time and liked it, but had no clue what it was, or how it was made. Now, I know. Thank you!

okay now I want to try this with Club crackers! :)
Oh, yes! I was trying to think of another alternative that was not Ritz, because I just don't like them.
I had the same thought😊
Club would give that nice square tiling with luscious lime moartar.
That’s the cracker I was trying to remember! Yes
Unfortunately, Ritz crackers' ingredients today are GMO old day ingredients were made better and not bioengineered.
Thanks Emmy! I tried this for the first time. Used Club crackers for the base, lemon juice vs lime, and strawberry powder with one of the cream layers. So so so good!
Powdered fruit as an add-in is brilliant!

If you put the whipping cream in your mixer and fluffed it up, then added the condensed milk you would then have that quick 'no churn' ice cream.
So excited for this ive been craving easy lime desserts!
Here in Brazil we also make desserts with sweet biscuits/crackers and cream. It’s amazing! 🥹
I think Townhouse crackers might be a good fit for this recipe, but I'd probably use graham crackers or Biscoff.
Wondering that myself. I have graham crackers that need to e usede.
I have a similar recipe but made with lemonade and the Ritz crackers are needed to balance the sweetness from the sweeten condensed milk.
I WISH I had access to graham or biscoff! Since I don't, I think it's great to see that there are options to experiment with.
Wondering about using the rectangular “Club” style crackers? They are thinner, though,
I just put one made with Townhouse crackers into the fridge. I think they would be a good alternative to the Ducales, which are certainly not easily available in British Columbia, Canada. The Townhouse cracker has a lighter texture than Ritz; they’re more rectangular; and they’re not as salty.

@@Insertcoolnamehere4200 Thank you, I was aware as such but I was trying to make a distinction between hand-whipped cream as opposed to whipped cream in a can, which often has added sugar and/or preservatives. Fresh cream is best when making chocolate ripple cake.
We used to be able to get Nabisco “Famous” chocolate cookie wafers with which we would layer whipped cream. It is my favorite no bake dessert but our local stores don’t carry the choc wafers.
I watched this video probably 15 times before I actually got to make the dessert a month later. I couldn’t remember what it was called so I called it cracker cake. So easy and delicious!!!
I have that juicer and my girls would get a kick out of the suction noise it makes when you remove the fruit. We called it kisses. Memories.
In eastern Europe we make this same cake with petit beurre biscuits!!! Often the cheapest desert option at restaurants 😌
Sounds Delicious Emmy! And I always love watching your videos when I'm having a bad day! Thank you for making great videos! ❤
Making this this weekend. Thanks! Always enjoy your videos.
That looks delicious. I bet you could get the Colombian crackers or something similar at world market.
I checked--and World Market does not carry them. Walmart and Safeway do--in addition to Amazon.
I love the other one with the Maria cookies. I will try this one this summer. I love an easy citrus cake
Such a fun video! And that juicer looked familiar... I think I may have something like that here in my ancestral home.
Here in brazil this desert is called Pavê, but we use Cornstarch biscuits often a red pack of 200g from the Piraquê brand called "Biscoito de Maizena" (Maizena Biscuits), they get much softer than this other kinds of crackers and they gave that mouth feel of just melting in your mouth. I suggest you try our version of it and maybe make a comparison.
I make something similar to this with unsalted soda crackers. You layer the crackers with alternating layers of prepared vanilla instant pudding and Cool Whip then you top the dessert with a can of your fave fruit flavoured pie filling and a final layer of Cool Whip. Then you must let the finished dessert sit at least 24 hours before serving so the crackers absorb the moisture from the pudding and Cool Whip, as it almost transforms them into puff pastry. So very easy and so very delicious!
I was wondering about soda crackers, if only for the squareness and salt free option.
@@chickadeeacres3864 - it works beautifully! 😊
New England - we have them everywhere in NYC and trip state area.
Lots cheaper than the internet, too.
Evaporated milk will make a whipped cream and Jell-o added to that makes an old ice box cake. It's an old Woolworths' ice box cake recipe. Please be aware lemon and lime juice/rind will take the enamel off teeth.
Thank you for a lovely summer dessert!
The Dulcales looked so satisfying to snap!
What an amazing tutorial, review and comparison. Thank you!
For anyone who loves coconut, I'm sure that would be amazing with adding shredded coconut to the layers!
That's exactly what I'm going to do! I love anything coconut 🥥🤤
I can't wait to try this! Thank you!
Have you ever made Grape-Nuts lemon puff pudding? It's not a quick recipe, but if you like lemon, it can't be beat. it was one of mother's favorites.
OMGosh where can I get the recipe?
@@CatGuyTX Google it!
I've never seen any of your videos but I love the calm energy. Also I did not know that about limes, thank you for that warning
I LOVE how simple this recipe is and can't wait to try it, thank you for sharing this one!😊
I like the rectangular shape
I’m definitely trying this! I have a few dietary issues but I found gluten free ritz and a quick web search let me know that coconut milk (and yeah they have coconut sweetened condensed) does curdle with lime, sooooo yeah it’ll be significantly different but I would love to have a dessert like this to take to family gatherings!
I made this yesterday and it's insanely good and so easy. I used Clubhouse crackers because I thought they'd be lighter and fluffier and it turned out great. I think next time I'll use more lime so it's a little more tart but otherwise it's an amazing recipe.
I like your voice and am so glad their is no distracting background music 😊
If you're looking for another icebox recipe, us here in the Philippines love mango graham cake!
You have the best soothing voice and presentation! Really enjoy watching your videos. Nice sweet dispensation 😊😉🤗🫠
I. Love. Lime. I love Dessert. And I love you, Emmy :D Thanks for this recipe!
I just wanted to share that I love watching your videos. You are easy to relate to and enjoyable to watch and learn from. I made mochi from one of your videos, and will make this next. You have a lovely sense of humor! Thank you for your videos.
Yummy carlota my wife makes this. It turns out delicious. You can also add guava
For a second there, I thought you were burning a condensed milk candle lol and thought “only Emmy“ but then I realized it was just a reflection from your string lights I believe that are hanging behind you. The recipe looked delicious. I might try something like that this summer. I’m a long time viewer of yours I think you’re an absolute delight, you’re beautiful inside and out and I wish you a wonderful fun and safe summer for you and your family. Tons of love and good vibes sent your way from Kentucky. -Derek ;) 🌈
I think Waverly crackers might be closer to the Ducales than Ritz. 🤔 They’re certainly lighter than Ritz. Soooo jealous of your Juice-O-Matic!!
In Argentina we have a similar desert called "Chocotorta" made with dulce de leche. You'll love it.
I made a Chocotorta is this video: ruclips.net/video/6wCYB4rulWo/видео.html.
Ritz has high fructose corn syrup. I will be giving these Ducales crackers a try! Thank you! ~Sharon from Florida
Another delicious recipe. I want to try this one as I love citrus desserts.
I can confirm this tastes amazing with Ducales
I just made it can’t wait for it really set.
I'm going to make this; I adore citrus! I'll share with the cool kids (most of us are in our 60's) who hang out in the smoking area of our apartment building to smoke and gossip 😂
Oh, Emmy, that juicer works so well. I must keep my eyes peeled for things like that in the thrift stores I visit.
