Classic Mango Milkshake

Mango milkshake is a delicious and creamy beverage that combines the tropical sweetness of ripe mangoes with the rich texture of milk. This recipe gives you a thick, sunset yellow mango milkshake, which is a must-try delight during the summer.

This refreshing beverage is particularly favored in areas where mangoes are plentiful. As the height of summer arrives in our region, we are thrilled because it signals the mango season. This vibrant, flavorful, and sweet fruit is delightful on its own, but it truly shines when incorporated into desserts, cakes, milkshakes, smoothies, and even savory dishes. If tasked with creating recipes centered around one ingredient, namely mango, I believe I could fill this blog with countless mango recipes.

There are countless varieties of mangoes available. However, when preparing desserts or drinks, choose a variety that is rich in flavor, sweet, and fleshy, with a beautiful orangey-yellow hue. This choice ensures the milkshake is packed with flavor and boasts a vibrant yellow color. The key to making a thick milkshake is using super-ripe mangoes, which you can cut into small cubes and partially freeze. While not necessary, this step will result in a thick milkshake. Additionally, using semi-frozen milk and ice cream will help achieve the desired consistency.

Things to note for a perfect and thick mango milkshake:

• Mango: Ensure that the mangoes used in this recipe are ripe and belong to a flavorful variety, as the mango plays an important role in the flavor, texture, and color of the milkshake.

• Vanilla Ice Cream: I used one large scoop of frozen vanilla ice cream. If you have a medium-sized ice cream scoop, then use two scoops of vanilla ice cream. To achieve a thick consistency, I scooped the necessary amount of ice cream and then refreeze the scooped ice cream before using it. You can also substitute mango ice cream instead of vanilla to enhance the flavor.

• Chilled milk: For this classic milkshake recipe, I used regular milk. However, you can substitute it with other types of milk. To achieve a thick mango milkshake, you can opt for either chilled milk or semi-frozen milk.
