A mango milkshake with canned pulp is creamy, delicious, and easy to make. It's an excellent refreshing drink that's ready in a few minutes.
Why You'll All Love This Mango Milkshake Recipe?
- Easy to Make: This delicious drink is straightforward and fuss-free, requiring just a few ingredients and a few minutes.
- Variety of Toppings: This creamy mango milkshake is great to customize with many different toppings that enhance its creaminess, texture, and flavors. We discuss all these options below, including chopped nuts and whipped cream, among many others.
- Perfect Pairing with Any Spicy Food: We generally make this milkshake whenever we have curry for dinner. The creaminess soothes the palate, helping to balance the heat from the spicy food(like this Mango juice). So, if you like spicy food, you'll like this, too.
The Ingredients
- Mango Pulp: I prefer using canned mango pulp to make drinks like this. Which is very convenient and generally available in pulp or dice. You can find it in leading grocery stores(my Target Stores carry them), Indian stores, or online.
- When mangoes are in season, you can also use fresh-ripened mangoes. Remove the skin, chop them, and freeze them to make this mango milkshake whenever needed.
- Almond Milk: Adds a creamy and nutty flavor that complements the mango. You can also swap it with coconut, cashew, or soy milk (coconut milk is my second choice, next to almond milk).
- Sugar: For sweetness, you can stick with refined sugar or opt for honey, maple syrup, or brown sugar for a more natural and well-rounded sweetness.
How To Make Mango Milkshake?
- Preparing ingredients: Measure all your ingredients. If you're using fresh mangoes, chill them for at least two hours for better taste, then remove the skin and cut them into chunks.
- Add the Ingredients To the Blender: To the blender jar, add mango pulp(or diced, skinless ripened mango), almond milk, sugar, and ice cubes.
- Blend: Blend until it reaches a smooth consistency.
- Enjoy: Serve immediately by pouring the mango milkshake into tall serving glasses to enjoy.
How to store?
I recommend consuming this as soon as you make it.
- Refrigeration: If you prefer to store it for later use, you can refrigerate it, but make sure to consume it within 4 to 5 hours of making it.
- Freezing: If you prefer freezing it for more extended storage, up to 2 months, transfer it to an airtight container, leaving some space at the top, as the mango milkshake will expand during freezing.
- Thawing: Place this milkshake in the refrigerator overnight until it's melted completely. Stir again to allow all the ingredients to come together, then enjoy.
Topping Suggestions
- Chopped Nuts: Sprinkle chopped almonds, cashews, and pistachios for extra crunch(this is my family's favorite). Finely chopped nuts add great texture and taste even better when added to this mango milkshake.
- Granola: For a satisfying crunch that beautifully complements the smooth texture of the milkshake.
- Whipped Cream: This is a fabulous choice that everyone loves.
- Ice Cream: A scoop of vanilla ice cream makes this drink pleasurable.
- Classic Add-ons: Add 3-4 drops of pure vanilla extract or a pinch of cardamom powder.
Frequently Asked Questions
