Description

This Summer Mango Coconut Float Milkshake is a refreshing tropical treat perfect for hot days. Creamy vanilla ice cream blends with ripe mango and coconut milk, topped with fizzy club soda for a delightful float effect. Garnished with coconut flakes and mint leaves, it offers a perfect balance of sweetness and tropical flavors in just minutes.


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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Pour the milkshake: Carefully pour the blended milkshake into glasses, filling them about three-quarters full to leave room for the float topping.
  4. 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.
  5. Garnish elegantly: Sprinkle coconut flakes over the top and add fresh mint leaves if desired, enhancing both presentation and flavor with a tropical touch.
  6. 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.
