Scale
Milkshake Ingredients
- 1 ripe mango, peeled and chopped
- 1/2 cup coconut milk (canned or carton)
- 1/2 cup vanilla ice cream
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
Float & Garnish
- 1/2 cup club soda or sparkling water
- Ice cubes (optional, for extra thickness)
- Coconut flakes, for garnish (optional)
- Mint leaves, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Blend mango and liquids: In a blender, combine the chopped mango, coconut milk, vanilla ice cream, and honey or maple syrup if using. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add ice for thickness: For a thicker milkshake, add a few ice cubes to the blender and blend again until you reach the desired consistency.
- Pour the milkshake: Pour the smooth milkshake into glasses, filling them about three-quarters full to leave room for the soda float.
- Add fizzy float: Top each glass with a splash of club soda or sparkling water to create a refreshing, fizzy float effect.
- Garnish the milkshake: Sprinkle coconut flakes on top and add a few fresh mint leaves to garnish and enhance the tropical presentation.
- Serve immediately: Serve the milkshake right away to enjoy the fresh, cool, and bubbly tropical flavors at their best.
Notes
- Use ripe, sweet mangoes for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of honey or maple syrup or omitting entirely if preferred.
- For a vegan version, use plant-based ice cream or omit it and increase the coconut milk slightly.
- Adding ice cubes helps thicken the milkshake but can dilute flavor slightly if blended too long.
- Club soda adds the signature fizz but can be replaced with sparkling water for a lighter taste.
