Mango Milkshake Recipe
Servings: 2–3 people
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cuisine: Pakistani / Indian / Summer drink
Ingredients
- 2 cups mango, peeled and chopped
- 2 tbsp sugar (adjust based on mango sweetness)
- 2 cups chilled milk
- Ice cubes (as required)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Mangoes
Wash the mangoes well to remove any residue. Peel them, remove the seed, and cut the flesh into small cubes until you have about 2 cups.
Tip: Use ripe, sweet mango varieties like Chaunsa, Sindhri, or Alphonso for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
Step 2: Blend the Mango
Add the chopped mango cubes to a blender along with sugar and a handful of ice cubes. Blend for about 30 seconds or until the mango becomes smooth and lump-free.
Step 3: Add Milk and Blend Again
Pour in the chilled milk and blend everything together until you get a creamy, thick milkshake. This should take another minute.
If the milkshake feels too thick, add a splash more milk and blend briefly. If it’s too thin, add a few more mango cubes or ice to thicken it up.
Step 4: Taste & Adjust
Taste your milkshake and adjust sweetness if needed by adding a little more sugar or honey. Blend again for 10-15 seconds until smooth and frothy.
Step 5: Serve & Enjoy
Pour the milkshake into tall, chilled glasses. For a special touch, top with mango chunks, chopped nuts, or even a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Serve immediately and enjoy every sip.
Tips for the Best Mango Milkshake
- Chill your milk before blending; cold milk keeps the milkshake fresh and prevents it from becoming watery.
- Adjust sugar based on the natural sweetness of the mangoes.
- For extra creaminess, add a tablespoon of fresh cream or a scoop of ice cream.
- Skip the sugar entirely for a healthier version if your mangoes are very sweet.
Variations to Try
- Mango Banana Milkshake: Add half a ripe banana for a naturally thicker and creamier shake.
- Mango Dry Fruit Shake: Blend in a few soaked almonds or pistachios.
- Mango Ice Cream Shake: Add a scoop of mango or vanilla ice cream while blending.
Why Homemade Mango Milkshake Wins Every Time
Unlike store-bought shakes or processed powders, making mango milkshake at home lets you enjoy real mango flavor with no artificial additives. It’s healthier, customizable, and fresher. Plus, you control how sweet, creamy, or thick you want it.
