Ingredients
Milkshake Base
- 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)
Float and Garnish
- 1/2 cup club soda or sparkling water
- Ice cubes (optional, for extra thickness)
- 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 until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Adjust Thickness: To make the milkshake thicker, add ice cubes to the blender and blend again until fully crushed and incorporated.
- Pour the Milkshake: Pour the blended milkshake into glasses, filling them about three-quarters full to leave room for the float topping.
- Add the Fizzy Float: Top each glass with a splash of club soda or sparkling water to introduce a refreshing fizzy, float-like effect to the drink.
- Garnish: Sprinkle coconut flakes and add mint leaves on top for an appealing presentation and a hint of extra flavor.
- Serve Immediately: Serve the milkshake right away to enjoy its optimal freshness and tropical taste.
Notes
- Use ripe, sweet mangoes for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
- The honey or maple syrup is optional and can be omitted if your mango is very sweet or to suit dietary restrictions.
- For a vegan version, ensure the vanilla ice cream is dairy-free or substitute with coconut ice cream.
- Adjust club soda quantity to taste — add more or less fizz as you prefer.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the fizzy effect, as the carbonation can dissipate over time.
