STEP BY STEP MAKING METHOD
Start by selecting ripe and juicy mangoes, preferably Alphonso or your favorite variety, peel them carefully, and chop into small pieces for easy blending.
Take the chopped mango pieces and blend them in a mixer along with cold milk until you get a smooth, creamy mango pulp. Ensure there are no lumps for a silky texture.
Taste the mixture and add sugar if required, then blend again so that the sweetness mixes evenly throughout.
Take a tall, clear glass and pour the mango shake halfway, leaving enough space for toppings and ice cream.
Add a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream on top of the mango shake. This creates the signature thick and creamy Mastani texture.
Gently stir the ice cream into the shake slightly so that it swirls with the mango pulp without completely mixing, keeping a layered effect.
Sprinkle chopped nuts such as almonds or pistachios on top for crunch and visual appeal.
Add a few mango cubes on top for extra bites of fresh mango flavor.
If you like, add whipped cream over the ice cream to make it richer and more indulgent.
Finally, garnish with a cherry or a drizzle of syrup for the perfect finishing touch.
Serve the Mango Mastani immediately while chilled, using a long spoon or straw to enjoy the creamy, fruity, and nutty layers together.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS
Serve the Mango Mastani immediately after preparing to enjoy the creamy texture and fresh mango flavor at its best.
Use tall transparent glasses to highlight the layered look of mango shake, ice cream, nuts, and toppings—it makes the drink visually appealing.
Pair it with light snacks like crispy wafers or dry biscuits to balance the richness of the drink.
Garnish with extra chopped nuts or mango cubes just before serving for a fresh and crunchy bite in every spoonful.
Add a drizzle of honey or syrup for a slightly sweeter twist if desired.
Serve with a long spoon or straw, allowing guests to enjoy both the creamy ice cream and smooth mango shake together.
For a festive touch, chill the glasses beforehand and sprinkle a tiny pinch of cardamom powder on top to enhance aroma.
TIPS FOR MAKING PERFECT MANGO MASTANI
Use ripe and juicy mangoes for the richest flavor; Alphonso or other sweet varieties work best.
Chill the milk and glasses beforehand to keep the Mastani extra refreshing and thick.
Blend the mango and milk just enough to make it smooth; over-blending can make it watery.
Adjust the sugar according to the sweetness of the mangoes; often ripe mangoes need little or no sugar.
For a richer taste, add a little condensed milk while blending.
Always add ice cream on top last to preserve the creamy layer and create the signature Mastani effect.
Garnish just before serving to keep nuts crunchy and mango cubes fresh.
Serve immediately to enjoy the best combination of creamy, fruity, and chilled flavors.
