🌍 Origin:

A fusion of tropical flavors inspired by Southeast Asian and Caribbean beverages, this drink combines the creamy texture of a milkshake with the tropical charm of a fruit float, often enjoyed in summer festivals and coastal cafés.

📏 Ingredients Quantity (Serves 2):

  • Ripe mango (peeled & diced) – 1 large (or 1 cup mango pulp)
  • Coconut milk (full-fat, chilled) – 1 cup
  • Vanilla or coconut ice cream – 2 scoops (plus more for topping)
  • Sweetened condensed milk – 2 tablespoons (adjust to taste)
  • Crushed ice – 1/2 cup
  • Sparkling water or lemon-lime soda – 1/2 cup (for float effect)
  • Desiccated coconut or toasted coconut flakes – 1 tablespoon (optional, for garnish)
  • Whipped cream – optional topping

🥥 Optional Ingredients:

  • Coconut cream – 1 tablespoon (for a thicker, creamier shake)
  • Mint leaves – for garnish
  • Mango syrup or puree drizzle – for extra sweetness and visual effect
  • Rum or Malibu – 1 oz (for adult version)

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

  1. Blend the mango, coconut milk, condensed milk, ice cream, and crushed ice in a blender until smooth and frothy.
  2. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more condensed milk or mango puree.
  3. Pour into tall glasses, filling each about 3/4 full.
  4. Top each glass with a scoop of ice cream.
  5. Slowly pour in the soda or sparkling water to create a fizzy float effect.
  6. Garnish with toasted coconut flakes, mint, and whipped cream if desired.
  7. Serve immediately with a wide straw or spoon.

💡 Tips for Success:

  • Use ripe, sweet mangoes like Alphonso or Ataulfo for best flavor.
  • Chill all ingredients beforehand to avoid dilution with too much ice.
  • Add soda slowly to avoid overflowing.
  • Blend mango first if using frozen chunks to ensure a smooth texture.
  • For a creamier version, substitute coconut milk with coconut ice cream + a splash of milk.

👍 Recommendations:

  • Best served: as a summer dessert, poolside treat, or party specialty.
  • Pair with light snacks like coconut cookies or fruit skewers.
  • Serve in a mason jar or tall clear glass for visual appeal.
