Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups ripe champagne mango chunks frozen for best results
  • 0.5 cup fresh citrus juice lime or lemon juice preferred
  • 1 cup ice cubes adjust to desired thickness
  • 1 tablespoon honey or simple syrup optional for added sweetness

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Cutting board

Method
 

  1. Gather your ripe champagne mango chunks and ensure they are frozen solid to achieve a thick, slushy texture.
  2. Pour the mango chunks into your blender.
  3. Add the fresh citrus juice to the blender, which will help brighten the flavor and add a tangy contrast to the sweet mangoes.
  4. Toss in the ice cubes, which will be blended into the fruit to create a icy, slushie consistency.
  5. If desired, drizzle in honey or simple syrup to enhance sweetness and balance the tartness.
  6. Secure the lid on the blender and blend on high speed for about 30-40 seconds, until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and icy, with no large chunks remaining.
  7. Stop the blender and check the texture; it should be thick and frosty, with a velvety appearance. If it's too thick, add a splash more citrus juice or a bit of water and blend briefly again.
  8. Pour the freshly blended mango slushie into glasses, allowing the icy mixture to settle evenly.
  9. Serve immediately, garnished with a slice of mango or a sprig of mint if desired, and enjoy the vibrant, tropical flavors.

Notes

Use frozen mango chunks for the best texture. Adjust lime juice and honey to suit your taste preferences. Serve immediately for a refreshingly cold experience.
