I absolutely love this mango milkshake recipe because it’s a tropical escape in a glass, blending the rich sweetness of ripe mangoes with creamy vanilla ice cream for a decadent treat. Plus, the added crunch from mixed nuts and the vibrant burst of tutti frutti take this indulgence to the next level—it’s both nostalgic and refreshingly modern!
Mastani de Mango es un fresco y lujoso trago que me encanta preparar con mango, leche, y crema de helado de vainilla. La mezcla de estos ingredientes da como resultado una textura deliciosa y un sabor ideal que se equilibra con opcional azúcar y se adorna con crema batida y nuts.
Ingredients
Mangoes: High in the vitamins A and C, and delivers natural sweetness along with a tropical flavor.
Whole milk: A rich, smooth drink; a creamy texture; a source of calcium and protein.
Ice cream made with vanilla: Brings an enriching and sweet creaminess to every fruit-flavored ice cream pairing.
The creaminess of vanilla ice cream balances the brightness of the mango’s flavor and brings out a more noticable sweetness.
Sugar: An optional sweetener that modifies the level of sweetness to correspond with the taste of the mangoes.
Assorted nuts: Nutty, crunchy topping; source of protein and healthy fats; adds texture.
Saffron: This is an optional garnish.
It adds an exotic aroma and an all-natural golden hue.

FAQ
- Q: Can I use frozen mangoes for this recipe?Q: Can I use frozen mangoes?
A: Yes, you can use frozen mangoes if you cannot find any fresh ones. Just make sure to thaw them before blending.
- Q: Is it necessary to add sugar to the Mango Mastani?Adding sugar is optional and depends on the sweetness of the mangoes. Taste the mangoes first and adjust the sugar accordingly.
- Q: Can I make Mango Mastani vegan?A: Totally. Substitute full-fat milk with a plant-based option like almond or coconut milk, and instead of using a regular ice cream, use a dairy-free option.
- Q: What is the purpose of adding saffron strands?A: Optional and used for garnish, saffron strands add a subtle aroma and an exotic touch to the presentation.
- Q: How can I make the Mango Mastani thicker?To achieve a more robust thickness, lessen the milk or ice you incorporate into the formulation.
- Q: What can I use instead of tutti frutti?A: You can use glazed cherries in your topping or skip them altogether, if you prefer a simpler topping.
- Q: Can I prepare Mango Mastani in advance?Mango Mastani is best served fresh, allowing you to enjoy the creamy texture. You can, however, prepare the mango puree in advance and chill it, refrigerating the puree until you’re ready to add ice cream and toppings. Then serve and enjoy, and that will be your best bet for maximizing the perfectly creamy nature of this drink.
Substitutions and Variations
Mangoes: Use canned or frozen mango pulp to substitute for fresh, ripe mangoes that are unavailable.
Sweeteners: Natural alternatives to sugar, such as honey and agave syrup, can be used as sweeteners.
Whole milk: Use almond milk or coconut milk for a dairy-free version.
Use mango-flavored ice cream to get extra mango flavor or non-dairy ice cream to make the dessert vegan.
Chopped nuts: Mixed nuts that have been chopped up can serve as an alternative in many dishes. Sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds can be used as a completely nut-free alternative.
Pro Tips
1. Choose the Right Mangoes: Opt for Ataulfo or Alphonso mangoes if available, as they have a rich flavor and smooth texture, enhancing the milkshake’s taste.
2. Chill Ingredients Ahead of Time: Ensure that the milk, mangoes, and ice cream are well-chilled before blending. This will result in a creamier and more refreshing milkshake.
3. Experiment with Flavor Enhancements: Consider adding a pinch of cardamom powder or a dash of vanilla extract while blending for an extra layer of flavor.
4. Balance Sweetness: Taste the mango puree before adding sugar. If the mangoes are naturally sweet, you might not need any added sugar, or you can adjust it to your preference.
5. Layer Textures: For a delightful textural contrast, don’t blend the nuts completely smooth. Instead, pulse them lightly, so you have a mix of fine and coarse pieces for garnishing.
