Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 ripe mangoes (peeled, pitted, and chopped)
- 1 cup coconut milk (full-fat for creaminess)
- 1/2 cup vanilla ice cream or coconut ice cream
- 1 to 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional, depending on sweetness of mangoes)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup ice cubes
Garnish
- Whipped cream or coconut whipped topping
- Toasted coconut flakes (optional)
- Extra scoop of ice cream for float
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Peel, pit, and chop the ripe mangoes into chunks, and gather all other ingredients including coconut milk, ice cream, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and ice cubes.
- Blend the Milkshake: Add the chopped mangoes, coconut milk, vanilla ice cream, honey or maple syrup (if using), vanilla extract, and ice cubes to a blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Taste and Adjust: Taste the milkshake and add more honey or maple syrup if additional sweetness is desired. Blend again briefly if any sweetener is added.
- Pour and Float: Pour the milkshake into tall glasses, leaving some space at the top for the ice cream float. Gently place an extra scoop of ice cream on the surface of each milkshake to create a delicious float.
- Garnish and Serve: Top each milkshake with a dollop of whipped cream or coconut whipped topping, sprinkle toasted coconut flakes if using, and serve immediately with a straw and spoon to enjoy the layers of flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use frozen mango chunks to make the shake extra thick and cold without needing additional ice.
- For a vegan version, substitute vanilla ice cream with coconut ice cream and use maple syrup instead of honey.
- Adding a splash of pineapple juice can introduce a delightful tropical twist to the milkshake.
