Dissolve the two packets of mango-flavored gelatin in hot water, following the package instructions. Once ready, pour it into a baking dish and refrigerate until firm. Then, cut it into medium-sized cubes.
2. Hydrate and Dissolve the Gelatin
In a cup of cold water, sprinkle the four tablespoons of unflavored gelatin. Let it hydrate for about 10 minutes. Then, heat it in a double boiler or in the microwave in 10-second intervals until completely dissolved. Set aside.
3. Prepare the creamy mixture
In a blender, combine the cream cheese, evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and half-and-half. Add the dissolved gelatin and blend until smooth and lump-free.
4. Assemble the dessert
Lightly grease a large mold (you can use a silicone or glass mold). Place the mango gelatin cubes and the cubes of one fresh mango in the bottom.
Carefully pour the creamy mixture over the gelatin and mango cubes. Smooth the surface with a spoon.
5. Refrigerate
Place the mold in the refrigerator and let it set for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight for best results.
6. Garnish and serve
When ready to serve, garnish with the second mango, cut into thin slices or fan shapes. Serve chilled to fully enjoy its tropical flavor.
Variations and Tips to Personalize Your Dessert

Crunchy Touch: Decorate with chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or crushed cookies just before serving.
