Ingredients
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)
- Ice cubes (optional, for extra thickness)
Float Topping
- 1/2 cup club soda or sparkling water
- Coconut flakes, for garnish (optional)
- Mint leaves, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Blend the base ingredients: In a blender, combine the chopped mango, coconut milk, vanilla ice cream, and honey or maple syrup if using. Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
- Add ice for thickness: If you prefer your milkshake thicker and colder, add a few ice cubes to the blender and blend again until the ice is fully crushed and incorporated.
- Pour the milkshake: Carefully pour the blended milkshake into glasses, filling them about three-quarters full to leave room for the float topping.
- Add the fizz: Top each glass with a splash of club soda or sparkling water. This creates a fun fizzy float-like effect, adding lightness and bubbles to the creamy shake.
- Garnish elegantly: Sprinkle coconut flakes over the top and add fresh mint leaves if desired, enhancing both presentation and flavor with a tropical touch.
- Serve immediately: Serve the mango coconut float milkshakes right away to enjoy the combination of creamy, fruity, and fizzy layers at their freshest.
Notes
- Use ripe, sweet mangoes for the best flavor.
- For a vegan version, replace vanilla ice cream with a plant-based alternative.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey or maple syrup depending on your taste and mango sweetness.
- Club soda adds fizz but no additional sweetness; flavored sparkling water can add extra fruit notes.
- Serve immediately as the fizz will dissipate over time.
- Adding ice cubes is optional but recommended for a colder, thicker shake.
