Ultimate Mango Milkshake Recipe – Nuts & Tutti Frutti Delight

Hey everyone! If sunshine had a flavor, it would definitely be this mango milkshake. Seriously, is there anything more refreshing on a hot day? I remember making this for my little cousin, Rohan, when he visited last summer, and it disappeared in about two minutes flat! It’s become a family favorite, and I’m so excited to share my ultimate recipe with you. Get ready for a creamy, dreamy, fruity explosion in a glass!

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

This isn’t just any mango milkshake. It’s a celebration of mangoes, packed with flavor and topped with all the good stuff – crunchy nuts, colorful tutti frutti, and a sweet cherry on top. It’s super easy to make, requires minimal ingredients, and is guaranteed to brighten your day. Plus, it’s a fantastic way to use up those perfectly ripe mangoes!

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to whip up this deliciousness:

• 1 whole ripe mango
• 1-2 tablespoons sugar (adjust to taste)
• 1/2 cup boiled chilled milk (about 120ml)
• 2 scoops mango ice cream
• A handful of chopped almonds, pista, cashews
• 2-3 tablespoons tutti frutti
• 2 glazed cherries
• 2-3 tablespoons chopped mango (for garnish)

Ingredient Notes

Let’s talk mangoes! Using a really ripe mango is key here. You want that intense sweetness and smooth texture. Alphonso mangoes are the gold standard if you can get your hands on them, but any sweet, fragrant variety will work beautifully.

The mango ice cream makes all the difference. Splurging on a good quality one really elevates the flavor. I personally love using a creamy, dairy-rich ice cream for the best texture.

And the nuts? That’s where things get fun! In North India, cashews are super popular, while pistachios are more common in the South. Feel free to use whatever you prefer – or a mix of all three! A little crunch goes a long way.

Step-By-Step Instructions

Alright, let’s get shaking!

1. First, wash, peel, and chop your mango into small cubes. Don’t worry about being too precise – everything gets blended up anyway!
2. Now, add the mango cubes, sugar, chilled milk, and mango ice cream to your blender.
3. Blend everything together until you have a thick, smooth puree. If it’s too thick, add a splash more milk. If it’s too thin, add another small scoop of ice cream.
4. Pour the gorgeous mango milkshake into a tall glass, filling it about 3/4 full.
5. Top it off with another generous scoop of mango ice cream. Because, why not?
6. Finally, garnish with a sprinkle of chopped nuts, a spoonful of tutti frutti, a few fresh mango pieces, and a bright red glazed cherry.

Expert Tips

• Chill your glass: Pop your serving glasses in the freezer for 10-15 minutes before pouring in the milkshake. It keeps everything extra cold and refreshing!
• Don’t over-blend: Over-blending can make the milkshake too frothy. Blend just until smooth.
• Taste as you go: Adjust the sugar to your liking. Mangoes vary in sweetness, so you might need more or less.

Variations

Want to switch things up? Here are a few ideas:

• Vegan Mango Milkshake: Swap the dairy milk for almond, soy, or oat milk, and use a plant-based mango ice cream. My friend Priya swears by coconut milk for an extra tropical twist!
• Gluten-Free Mango Milkshake: Good news – this recipe is naturally gluten-free!
• Spice Level: Add a tiny pinch of cardamom powder to the blender for a warm, aromatic flavor. My grandmother always added a little cardamom to her mango drinks.
• Summer Special (Mango Lassi Adaptation): Use yogurt instead of ice cream for a thicker, tangier drink – basically a mango lassi!

Serving Suggestions

This milkshake is perfect as a midday treat, a dessert after a spicy meal, or even a breakfast on a lazy weekend. Serve it immediately for the best texture and flavor. A side of biscuits or a light snack complements it beautifully.

Storage Instructions

Honestly, this milkshake is best enjoyed fresh. However, if you absolutely have leftovers, you can store it in an airtight container in the freezer for up to an hour. It might separate a little, so give it a good stir before drinking.

FAQs

Can I use frozen mangoes for this milkshake?

Yes, absolutely! Frozen mangoes work great, especially if fresh mangoes aren’t in season. Just make sure to thaw them slightly before blending.

What’s the best type of mango to use for a milkshake?

Alphonso mangoes are the dream, but Kesar, Dasheri, or even Tommy Atkins will work well. The key is to choose a mango that’s sweet and fragrant.

Can I make this milkshake ahead of time?

It’s best to make it right before serving, but you can prep the mangoes ahead of time and store them in the fridge.

How can I adjust the sweetness of the milkshake?

Start with 1 tablespoon of sugar and add more to taste. You can also use honey or maple syrup as a natural sweetener.

What are some other toppings I can use besides nuts and tutti frutti?

Get creative! Shredded coconut, chocolate shavings, a drizzle of honey, or even a sprinkle of cinnamon would all be delicious.
