Scale
Main 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)
- 1/2 cup club soda or sparkling water
- Ice cubes (optional, for extra thickness)
Garnish
- Coconut flakes (optional)
- Mint leaves (optional)
Instructions
- Blend Base Ingredients: In a blender, combine the chopped mango, coconut milk, vanilla ice cream, and honey or maple syrup if using. Blend until smooth to create a creamy tropical mixture.
- Add Ice for Thickness: If you desire a thicker milkshake, add ice cubes to the blender and blend again until the texture is suitably thick and chilled.
- Pour Milkshake: Pour the milkshake into glasses, filling them about three-quarters full, preparing for the float effect.
- Add Fizz: Top each glass with a splash of club soda or sparkling water, which adds a refreshing fizzy float-like experience to the drink.
- Garnish and Finish: Garnish the milkshakes with coconut flakes and mint leaves if desired to enhance both presentation and flavor.
- Serve Immediately: Serve the mango coconut float immediately to enjoy the fresh tropical flavors and bubbly texture while they are at their best.
Notes
- The honey or maple syrup is optional; adjust sweetness according to taste and mango ripeness.
- Use canned coconut milk for a richer flavor or carton coconut milk for a lighter version.
- For a vegan alternative, replace vanilla ice cream with a non-dairy version.
- Adding ice cubes makes the milkshake thicker and colder, perfect for hot days.
- The fizzy club soda adds a unique float texture but can be omitted if a traditional milkshake is preferred.
