Nothing says summer quite like a thick, creamy Mango Milkshake. This simple recipe captures that pure joy in a glass, turning sweet, ripe mangoes into the perfect frosty treat. It’s my absolute go-to, and it’s ready in just a few minutes!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1½ to 2 cups chopped ripe mangoes, chilled or frozen
  • 1 to 1½ cups chilled whole milk (or your milk of choice)
  • 2 tbsp sweetener (like sugar or honey), optional and adjusted to taste

For Creaminess (Choose ONE):

  • 25 raw cashews or almonds, soaked in warm water for 20–30 minutes
  • OR
  • 4 generous scoops vanilla ice cream

Optional Flavor Boost:

  • ¼ tsp ground cardamom or 1½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Chill Your Fruit: For the best texture, use mango pieces that have been chilled in the freezer for at least 30 minutes. This makes the shake thick and frosty without needing ice.
  2. First Blend: Add the chilled mango, cold milk, and sweetener (if using) to your blender. If you’re using the nut option, add your soaked nuts now. Blend on high for 45-60 seconds until perfectly smooth.
  3. Add Ice Cream (If Using): If you chose the ice cream route, add the scoops now. Blend for just 10-15 seconds more—only until it’s combined. Over-blending will melt it!
  4. Taste and Perfect: Give it a quick taste. Does it need more sweetness? A splash more milk to thin it out? This is your moment to make it perfect for you.
  5. Serve Immediately: Pour into chilled glasses. Garnish with a sprinkle of chopped pistachios or almonds and enjoy right away!

Notes

  • Tip #1: Cold is Key! The secret to a thick, flavorful shake is using chilled milk and frozen mango. This avoids using ice, which waters down the perfect mango flavor.
  • Tip #2: Vegan-Friendly Shake: It’s easy! Use full-fat oat milk or coconut milk, maple syrup to sweeten, and stick with the soaked nuts for that creamy texture.
  • Serving Suggestion: This shake is a fantastic dessert on its own or a wonderful way to cool the palate after a spicy meal.
  • Storage: This milkshake is best enjoyed fresh. Leftovers can be stored in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to a day (it will separate, so shake it very well before drinking).
  • Fun Leftover Idea: Pour any extra shake mixture into popsicle molds for delicious frozen mango treats! Reheating is not recommended.
