How to Make Creamy 3-Ingredient Mango Milkshake

1. Wash the ripe mangoes thoroughly under cold running water.
2. Slice the mango cheeks away from the central pit using a sharp chef knife.
3. Score the flesh of the mango cheeks into a crosshatch grid pattern without cutting through the skin.
4. Invert the skin to pop the mango cubes outward.
5. Slice the mango cubes off the skin into a bowl.
6. Reserve 1/2 cup of small mango cubes for glass assembly.
7. Place the remaining diced mangoes directly into your blender pitcher.
8. Pour 3 tablespoons of sweetened condensed milk over the fresh mangoes.
9. Add 1.5 cups of ice-cold whole milk to the blender pitcher.
10. Secure the blender lid firmly.
11. Blend on high speed for 45 to 60 seconds until the mixture reaches a silky smooth consistency.

12. Place half of the reserved diced mangoes into the bottom of two tall serving glasses.
13. Pour the blended mango milkshake slowly into each glass over the fresh fruit base.
14. Top each glass with the remaining fresh mango cubes.
15. Serve immediately with a wide straw or spoon.

Pro Tip

Using warm or room-temperature ingredients makes the shake runny, so chill your fresh mangoes and whole milk in the refrigerator before blending to guarantee a thick consistency without diluting the flavor with ice.

Serving & Storage

Serve this shake immediately while chilled, paired with light snacks like shortbread cookies or spicy savory pastries.

Store any leftovers in a sealed glass jar inside the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Stir well before drinking if separation occurs. Freezing is not recommended as it changes the silky texture of the dairy.

FAQs

Can I make this mango milkshake vegan?

Yes, substitute the whole milk with unsweetened oat milk or coconut milk, and use sweetened condensed coconut milk instead of dairy condensed milk.

Why is my mango milkshake bitter?

Mangoes near the pit or unripened mangoes contain excessive tannins, so ensure you use fully ripe, sweet mangoes and avoid scraping too close to the central seed.

Can I add ice cubes while blending?

Adding ice dilutes the rich mango taste and creates a watery texture, so freeze your mango cubes beforehand instead of using solid ice cubes.
