- 1 Small Bowl –
- 1 Long-Handled Spoon Or Spatula
- Six Serving Glasses
- 1 Clean Kitchen Cloth
Ingredients
- 4 Cups Ripe Mango Chunks - Approximately 660 g
- 3 Cups Whole Milk - 720 ml
- 3 Cups Vanilla Ice Cream - Approximately 450 g
- 2–3 Tablespoons Honey Or Sugar - Optional
- 1 Cup Ice Cubes - Optional

- ½ Teaspoon Vanilla Extract - Optional
- ¼ Cup Diced Mango For Garnishing
- Whipped Cream - Optional
Instructions
Step 1: Select And Prepare The Mangoes
- - Wash the mangoes thoroughly under clean running water.
- - Peel the skin using a sharp knife or vegetable peeler.
- - Slice the flesh away from the central stones, then cut it into small cubes.
- - Measure four cups of mango chunks and reserve a few pieces for garnishing.
- - Taste the mangoes before adding any sweetener, as very ripe fruit may need little or no additional sugar.
- Sweet, fragrant mangoes are essential for a delicious Mango Milkshake. Frozen mango chunks are a convenient alternative when fresh mangoes are unavailable.
Step 2: Chill Your Ingredients
- - Remove the milk from the refrigerator immediately before blending.
- - Keep the vanilla ice cream in the freezer until needed.
- - If desired, refrigerate the serving glasses for approximately 10–15 minutes.
- - Measure the remaining ingredients so everything is ready to blend.
- Cold ingredients help create a refreshing milkshake without relying on excessive ice, which can dilute the mango flavour.
Step 3: Blend The Mangoes And Milk
- - Add the mango chunks to the blender jug.
- - Pour in approximately two cups of cold milk.
- - Secure the blender lid firmly.
- - Blend for 30–60 seconds, or until the mango is thoroughly puréed and no large chunks remain.
- - Stop the blender before scraping down the sides with a spatula, if necessary.
- Blending the mango with milk first helps break down the fruit and creates a smoother base for your Mango Milkshake.
Step 4: Add The Vanilla Ice Cream
- - Add the three cups of vanilla ice cream to the mango mixture.
- - Pour in the remaining cup of milk.
- - Add the vanilla extract and optional honey or sugar, if needed.
- - Blend for another 20–40 seconds until the mixture becomes thick, creamy and evenly coloured.
- - If the mixture is too thick, add a little more cold milk and blend briefly.
- Avoid blending longer than necessary. Excessive blending can warm the ingredients and reduce the thick texture of your homemade milkshake.
Step 5: Taste And Adjust The Flavour
- - Switch off the blender before removing the lid.
- - Taste a small spoonful of the mixture.
- - Add a little honey or sugar if the mangoes are not sweet enough.
- - Add a splash of milk if the consistency is too thick.
- - If the flavour is excessively sweet, add a small squeeze of lemon or lime juice.
- Make adjustments gradually. The best Mango Milkshake balances the natural sweetness of ripe mangoes with the creamy richness of milk and ice cream.
Step 6: Pour And Garnish
- - Pour the finished milkshake into six clean, chilled glasses.
- - Leave a little space at the top of each glass for optional toppings.
- - Add a few diced mango pieces to each serving.
- - Finish with whipped cream or a light dusting of cinnamon, if desired.
- - Serve immediately while cold and creamy.
