Mango Milkshake With Ice Cream

Remember how I made this Mango Avocado Salsa last year, with some Ratnagiri Alphonsa Mangoes that our friend gifted us? Well, this year also we got a box of those lovely mangoes (Thanks Sheena & Shiju!). As I said last time, those mangoes are too good, that you feel that you’re ruining them if you try to make something out of it.

Having said that, I made this mango milkshake with those mangoes. I blame the weather for that! Summer is here in Bahrain and it's scorching hot outside, the moment you get back home from outside, you automatically run to fridge to have something cold. I stopped drinking canned fruit juice a long time ago, also no sweetened sodas for me. There was a time when I used to kinda live on that, especially during my college days…. hmmm… no more.

So the other day when I was back inside the house after running a few chores, I desperately wanted something cold and sweet, since I was feeling so tired. The first thing I saw when I opened the fridge were these mangoes and there was no stopping me!

Well, the recipe part is pretty simple and easy. There is nothing like sipping into a thick milkshake topped with ice cream on a hot and humid day :) Don’t you agree?!

Ingredients

• ▢ 2 Ripe Mangoes (cut into cubes)
• ▢ 1.5 cups Chilled Milk
• ▢ 2-3 scoops Vanilla Ice-cream
• ▢ Sugar / honey ( as required, refer notes)

Instructions

• ▢
  Blend together cubed mangoes, ice cubes and 1/2 cup milk. Once it's smooth, add remaining milk and 2 scoops of ice cream and sugar or honey (if using).
• ▢
  Serve chilled.

Notes

I used very ripe mangoes, so I didnt add any extra sugar or honey. Also I like a thick milk shake, so I used only less qty of milk, you can add more milk if you like a thinner version.

If you want, you can add 1/4 tsp of vanilla essence. I had some left over praline and used it as a topping. If you've the patience to make that, I recommend you to try it with the milkshake, it gives a nice contrasting texture to the smooth milkshake.

You can store the leftover milkshake in an airtight container for a day or two.
