Mango Mastani | Mango Milkshake

Mango Mastani – Rich and creamy and thick mango milkshake topped with ice cream, dry fruits, and nuts! A summer-special milkshake with the goodness of mangoes!

Milkshakes and lassi during summer are very common in our household. Off late, paneer soda joined the bandwagon as well. I love to combine fresh seasonal fruits in our lassi and milkshakes. You can call my lassi as yogurt and fruit smoothies and my milkshakes as ice cream and fruit smoothies. :-) That’s how I make them.

What’s mango mastani?

This mango mastani is a popular drink in Pune, Maharashtra. Are you wondering why we call this drink mango mastani? Some say this drink was named after Peshwa Baji Rao’s wife, Mastani. At the same time, India.com says that when everyone relished this drink, they appreciated it by saying “mast” – a Hindi word meaning super, cool, awesome. Later, it became mastani.

I don’t want to dig too much into the research. Let’s enjoy this rich and creamy drink. My recipe is slightly different from the ones you find online. I just used what I had in hand and prepared this mastani. Yes, it’s a customizable recipe. 

Ingredients required

For the milkshake – We need fresh mangoes, milk, and ice cream, which is optional.

For garnishing – We need more ice cream, fresh mangoes, nuts, tutti frutti, and dry fruits of your choice. 

Most recipes call for glazed cherries, but I used black grapes to garnish. You can use berries also.

The recipe is very straightforward. Just two steps are involved-

• Blend the mango, milk, and ice cream.
• Pour it into serving glasses, top it with ice cream, and garnish it with nuts, tutti frutti, and fruits. Serve it right away. You need both a spoon and a straw for this drink. :-)

VVK Tips

Adding raj bhog ice cream-

Also, while preparing the milkshake, I added some ice cream. That made this milkshake very creamy and thick. I used the store-bought raj bhog ice cream. I recommend any Indian-flavored ice cream, and it intensifies the flavor multifold. But this step is entirely optional.

Mango measure-

You can adjust the ingredient measure according to your preference. But don’t reduce the mango measure – the more the mango, the more the flavor.

Adding cubes and other flavors-

I did not add any ice cubes as I added the ice cream. Because of this ice cream, I did not add any other flavoring ingredients like cardamom and sugar.

PS- This is a vibrant and calorie-loaded drink. You can reduce the serving amount and split this into four servings.

How to make mango mastani-

• Add the cut mango, ice cream (if using), and milk in a blender. I used my Blendtec and used the smoothie option.
• Now, pour this mango milkshake into the glasses. Fill ¾ of the glass for sufficient space for the toppings.
• Add two scoops of vanilla ice cream to each glass.
• Add the nuts, tutti frutti, chopped mango, and grapes equally to both glasses.
• Serve right away! You need a spoon for this recipe!

Recipe Notes-

• While making the milkshake, instead of raj bhog ice cream, you can add vanilla or any malai ice cream. I recommend skipping chocolate-based ice creams, though.
• If you skip the ice cream while making the milkshake, add sugar and increase the milk to 1 cup. You can also add saffron or cardamom for further flavor.
• Garnish with nuts and fruits of your choice. As mentioned in the post, I used black grapes instead of cherries.
