Mangococonada
This twist on a Mexican dessert drink is sure to bring smile to your friends! Traditionally drizzled with chamoy and timed with tajin, we decided to include a coconut layer for that tropical flavor! Add your favourite rum to kick this up a notch.Ingredients
Serves 2 to 4
2 cups (500 ml) frozen mango chunks
½ cup (125 ml) white rum
2 limes, juice only
2 tbsp (30 ml) honey (or to taste)
¼ cup (60 ml) water, plus more if needed
2 cups (500 ml) coconut-flavoured ice cream (vegan ice creams may not work in this recipe)
½ cup (125 ml) coconut milk, plus more if needed
4 tbsp (60 ml) chamoy or grenadine, divided
2 tbsp (30 ml) Tajín seasoning
1 fresh mango, cubed, for garnish
2 sprigs fresh mint, for garnish
Instructions
- In a high-speed blender, combine frozen mangoes, rum, lime juice, honey and ¼ cup (60 ml) water. Blend on high until smooth. If you need to add more water, add a few tbsp at a time until desired consistency. It should be fairly thick but smooth. Pour into another container and store in freezer, up to 10 minutes, until you are ready to assemble.
- In the same blender, blend ice cream and ½ cup (125 ml) coconut milk. If you need to add more coconut milk, add 1 tbsp (15 ml) at a time until desired consistency is achieved.
- To rim your serving glasses, set out 2 plates. Place 2 tbsp (30 ml) chamoy on 1 plate and Tajín on the other. Dip 2 or 4 hurricane glasses into chamoy and then into Tajín.
- Pour 1 cup (250 ml) mango mixture into each glass, then divide remaining 2 tbsp (30 ml) chamoy into each glass. Top each with 1 cup (250 ml) ice-cream mixture. Alternate the layers until you have your desired amount in each glass. Garnish with fresh mango and mint.
