TIPS
- Use frozen mango: Fresh mango can be used, but freezing it beforehand will help achieve a thick, ice-cream-like texture.
- Blend in batches: If using a high-powered blender, scrape the sides occasionally to ensure an even mix.
- Adjust spice level: If you prefer a milder taste, start with a pinch of chilli flakes and adjust to your liking.
- Enhance creaminess: Add a tablespoon of coconut cream or almond milk for a richer texture.
- Natural sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter taste, mix in a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup.
VARIATIONS
- Coconut-lime twist: Add a teaspoon of shredded coconut and a dash of lime zest for a tropical kick.
- Protein-packed version: Blend in a scoop of vanilla protein powder for a post-workout treat.
- Chocolate infusion: Mix in dark chocolate shavings or cocoa powder for a chocolate-mango fusion.
- Citrus zest: Sprinkle orange or lemon zest for extra freshness.
- Nutty crunch: Top with chopped almonds, pistachios, or granola for added texture.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Refrigeration: Best enjoyed immediately. If stored in the fridge, it will melt and lose its texture.
- Freezing: Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week. Let it sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving to soften.
- Make-ahead: Prepare in advance and store in individual portions for quick frozen treats.
