Expert Tips
Chill the mango in the refrigerator before using it. Also, use cold milk straight from the refrigerator.
Depending on the sweetness of the mangoes, taste and adjust the sugar. I have used raw sugar here. However, plain white sugar can also be used.
Avoid using strongly flavored ice creams like chocolate or caramel ice cream for topping the milkshake.
You can top the milkshake with both mango ice cream and vanilla ice cream, or just one of them, depending on your preference.
I have used fresh cherries to top the milkshake. You can replace it with maraschino cherries or candied cherries instead.
Pair this drink with lip-smacking pav bhaji for an indulgent meal.
