Cooldown, with an Easy Creamy Mango Milkshake.

This Easy Creamy Mango Milkshake is a guaranteed hit with the kids, and who doesn’t like a milkshake? Make sure you have a nice ripe Mango to get the best flavour and texture.

If you don’t have limes handy, lemon will do and make sure you are using evaporated milk. Don’t get confused with condensed milk, which is much thicker and sweeter.

Preparing the Mango.

Getting at the flesh can be tricky, but the best way is to trip ether end first. This gives you a flat base on which to set the fruit upright and carefully cut off the skin. Once that’s done the fresh can be sliced off the stone. As we are blending the milkshake it doesn’t matter how neatly to slice off the fruit.

Finally remember to follow the golden rule of working with Mangoes. You really must suck the stone after removing the flesh. One of life’s small pleasures.

To get the best texture have the mango and limes ready waiting for your guests. Then blend the milkshake when needed. Serve directly from the blender to get the best fluffy texture in the mix.
