Serving and Timing
Servings: 2–3 people
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 5 minutes
Ingredients
- 2 cups ripe mango, peeled and chopped into cubes
- 2 tbsp sugar (adjust to taste depending on mango sweetness)
- Ice cubes (as required, about 1–2 cups depending on desired slushiness)
That’s it — no complicated ingredients, just pure, sweet mango flavor.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Mangoes
Start by washing and peeling your ripe mangoes. Chop them into medium-sized cubes — the riper the mangoes, the better the flavor and color of your slush.
Step 2: Blend
Add the mango cubes to a blender. Sprinkle in the sugar, then add a generous handful of ice cubes.
Step 3: Blend Until Smooth
Blend everything together for about a minute, until the ice breaks down and the mixture becomes thick, smooth, and slushy. If you prefer an icier texture, add more ice and pulse until you get the perfect consistency.
Step 4: Serve
Immediately pour your mango slush into glasses. For an extra touch, garnish with a slice of mango, a sprig of mint, or even a sprinkle of chili powder for a sweet-and-spicy kick.
Enjoy every frosty spoonful — this drink is best served fresh!
Tips for the Perfect Mango Slush
- Choose naturally sweet, ripe mangoes so you can reduce added sugar.
