The name suggests what this beautiful recipe is about. Before I start, I have to say that this has been one of my most awaited recipes ever. Living in USA, along with so many things that we have to get accustomed to, one is being away from Mangoes. Trust me, its one of the most difficult things to be, almost like celebrating Eid without family, ….if not same then close. So, this drink is from Mangoes and I waited almost 2 years to make it. Yupp!!! sounds funny but its true.
So, the internet was all hyped with this Mango mania with Mango Mastani making to the top of the chart. I still remember drooling over the pictures and wanting to make it so bad. Now the twist in this is, that I am not a big fan of Mango. Yeah!!! weirdo right??? But I am not, prone to breakouts I kind of stayed away from the King of fruits since teenage, and as much as I love taking a bite or two, I never let my heart fall in love 😉 . But the point is that I have desperate urges to cook things even if I am not the one who will eat it and this happened to be one of those dishes and it took me 2 years to get my hands on good quality mangoes. I am so happy that I finally made this amazing Mango delight which honestly cannot be expressed in words.
The amazing flavor of Mango shake which has been made using Vanilla ice cream and milk, giving it thick and smooth texture, topping it with sweet and soft Mango pieces, adding crunch of sliced nuts and cover it with a few dollops of vanilla ice cream. You are allowed to go all out when it comes to decoration. Unfortunately, I tried making this at quarantine time and didn’t really have proper supplies to decorate it the way I’d love to but I think I managed pretty well considering my hubby felt it looked wonderful and he was pretty impressed. So, a few fruits, fresh or frozen to cut out the monotonous look of mangoes and mango shake with vanilla ice cream, so a few raspberries, strawberries, or whatever looks great with the combination, for that matter even mint leaves would go great. I even chopped up some pistachios, which actually went great with the look and flavor. I got my hands on some colorful cake sprinkles, so they made it to this mango mania too. So, basically go all out, anything and everything that you feel can look good and will blend in with the flavors of mango can join this party.
This recipe should not take more than 10 minutes and is an easy one to impress guests who drop in without a prior notice. Just don’t serve it to someone who counts calories…this is for the brave heart. Enjoy!!!
