Mango Milkshake Ingredients
- Mango: Choose ripe and orange mangoes. Ripe mangoes have a fruity and sweet aroma. Use a paring knife to cut out the pit and remove the peel. It is best to use Alphonso mangoes for this recipe. Alphonso mangoes are known for sweetness, richness, and flavor.
- Whole milk: For the best results, use 2%, whole milk but you can use Non-Dairy milk like coconut milk, almond milk, oat milk, or soy milk.
- Vanilla ice cream: If you want the taste of mango to be dominant in the milkshake, use vanilla ice cream. Ice cream helps in making thick and creamy milkshakes.

Expert Tips
- What makes a milkshake thicker? For a thicker milkshake, use less milk or swap milk with heavy cream or half-and-half. By using frozen fruits you will have a thicker milkshake. For this reason, put the mango chunks in a Ziploc bag and put them in the freezer for a few hours.
- Add your choice of flavorings like cardamom powder and vanilla extract.
- Top the milkshake with whipped cream, cashews, crushed almonds, or small mango pieces.
- If you use ice cream and ripe mangos to make the milkshake, you don’t need to add sweetener. But if the mangos are sour or tart, you can use sweeteners like maple syrup and sugar.
Variations
- Mango Milkshake Without Ice Cream: You can simply add ice cream or remove it from this recipe. The easiest way to have a no-ice-cream milkshake is to blend a few ice cubes with milk. Note that if you want to end up with a creamy milkshake you should add ice cream. Also, you can add frozen mangoes, plain yogurt, or vanilla yogurt to have a creamier milkshake.
- Mango Banana Milkshake: Blend together ripe mangoes, frozen banana slices, milk, and a sweetener of your choice (maple syrup, agave syrup, or sugar). The resulting milkshake has a rich and creamy texture.
- Mango Coconut Milkshake: Blend ripe mangoes, coconut milk, maple syrup, and ice cubes for a tropical twist on the traditional mango milkshake. You can also add a tablespoon of shredded coconut for extra flavor and texture.
FAQs
Can I Make a Milkshake Ahead of Time?
I don’t recommend making it ahead of time. This milkshake is best served as soon as it is blended.
What Is the Secret of a Good Milkshake?
Use high-quality ice cream and fresh milk as the base of your milkshake. Mango milkshake should be thick and creamy, but still drinkable with a straw. Achieve the right consistency by adjusting the ratio of ice cream to milk. Add milk gradually until you reach the desired texture and consistency.
