Notes
This recipe makes 4 servings and can be easily doubled for parties.
The mango base mixture can be prepared up to 24 hours ahead and stored in the refrigerator.
For a thicker, frozen version, freeze mango chunks beforehand and add less ice during blending. This creates a slushy consistency perfect for hot days.
Try substituting other tropical fruits like papaya or guava for the mango.
Adding a dash of vanilla extract enhances the tropical flavors.
For a spicy kick, add a thin slice of jalapeño or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the mixture. The heat pairs wonderfully with the sweet mango.
