MANGO MILKSHAKE AND MANGO DESSERT

Mangoes are one of the most cultivated fruits in the world. Raw mangoes are used for making chutneys and curries while the ripe ones are used to make juices, smoothies, aamras, lassi, ice creams, etc. I have given below two recipes using Mangoes, one is a Mango milkshake which is a perfect way to beat the heat. And the other is Mango dessert that can be served as a chilled dessert after a meal. The consistency of the dessert lies somewhere between a custard and an ice cream and tastes delicious.

Mango Milkshake

Serves: 4 to 6

Ingredients

3 mangoes
3 cups milk
6 to 8 tbsp sugar

Method

Remove the skin of the mango, separate the seed from it and cut into small pieces. Transfer the chopped mangoes to the large jar of a mixi (or use a blender), add sugar and grind to a fine paste. (Adjust the proportions of sugar depending on the sweetness of mangoes) Add milk and grind again. If it is very thick add 1 more cup of water or milk. Transfer to a large jar and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours. Pour into glasses and serve cold.
