Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups ripe mango chunks frozen for best texture
  • 1 cup ice cubes crushed or whole
  • 1 tablespoon secret ingredient adds a sneaky twist (e.g., a splash of coconut milk or a dash of lime juice)
  • 1 tbsp sugar optional, depending on sweetness preference

Equipment

  • Freezer
  • Blender

Method
 

  1. Place the frozen mango chunks into your blender, ensuring they are evenly distributed for smooth blending.
  2. Add the ice cubes on top of the mango, creating a mound that will help achieve a thick, icy consistency once blended.
  3. Pour in the secret ingredient, which could be a splash of coconut milk or a squeeze of lime—something that gives this slushie a unique, refreshing flavor.
  4. Add the tablespoon of sugar if you like your slushie sweeter; this balances the tropical tartness of the mango.
  5. Secure the lid and blend on high speed for about 30-60 seconds until the mixture is thick, smooth, and icy—listen for the blending hum and watch for a uniform, frosty texture.
  6. Stop the blender and check the consistency; if it’s too runny, add a few more mango chunks or ice and blend again briefly.
  7. Pour the icy mango mixture into chilled glasses, allowing the frozen texture to settle and the color to shine brightly.
  8. Garnish with a slice of lime or a sprig of mint if desired, enhancing both visual appeal and flavor.
  9. Serve immediately with a straw or spoon, enjoying the cool, tropical burst of flavor with each sip.

Notes

For best results, use ripe, frozen mango for a naturally sweet and flavorful slushie. Customize with your favorite tropical add-ins like coconut flakes or a splash of rum for an adult version.
