minutesIngredients
For the Shake:
2 large ripe mangoes (or 1 to 1.5 cups mango pulp)
1.5 to 2 cups chilled milk
2–3 tbsp sugar (adjust to taste)
A few ice cubes (optional)
2 scoop of vanilla or mango ice cream
For Topping:
1 scoop vanilla or mango ice cream
Chopped nuts (cashews, almonds, pistachios)
Chopped mango pieces
Glazed cherries or tutti frutti
Strawberry crush (optional)
Directions
- Prepare the mango milkshake:
- In a blender, add chopped mango, chilled milk, sugar, and a scoop of ice cream (optional).
- Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust thickness by adding more milk if needed.
- Assemble the Mastani:
- In each tall serving glass, place about 1 tablespoons Strawberry crush then add fresh mango cubes at the bottom.
- Pour the prepared thick mango milkshake into the glasses, filling them about two-thirds of the way.
- Carefully place one generous scoop of vanilla or mango ice cream on top of the milkshake in each glass.
- Garnish with chopped mangoes, nuts and cherries/tutti frutti.
- Serve immediately, cold with a straw and a spoon.
Notes
- Use Alphonso or Kesar mangoes for the best flavor and color.
- You can skip ice cream in the shake if you want it lighter — just make it thick and creamy.
- Choose Ripe Mangoes: The key to a delicious Mango Mastani is using very ripe, sweet, and non-fibrous mangoes. Alphonso and Kesar varieties are highly recommended for their flavor and color.
- Chill Ingredients: Ensure all your ingredients, especially the milk and mangoes, are well-chilled before blending for the best consistency and taste.
- Consistency: The milkshake should be thick enough to hold the ice cream scoop on top without it sinking immediately.
- Customization: Feel free to experiment with other toppings like a drizzle of mango syrup, chocolate syrup, or even a sprinkle of cardamom powder for an aromatic twist.
- Vegan Option: To make it vegan, use plant-based milk (like almond or oat milk) and a dairy-free vanilla or mango ice cream.
