Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large fresh ripe mango (peeled, pitted, and cubed)
- 1 cup whole milk (or plant-based milk)
- 2 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
- 4 pieces ice cubes
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare the mango by peeling, pitting, and cutting it into small cubes. If using frozen mango, ensure it is thawed slightly to allow for smoother blending.
In a blender, combine the mango cubes, whole milk, sweetened condensed milk, ice cubes, and vanilla extract.
Blend the ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the blender if necessary to ensure everything is thoroughly mixed.
Taste the batido and, if desired, adjust the sweetness by adding a little more sweetened condensed milk.
Pour the batido into two glasses, and if desired, sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon on top for garnish.
Serve immediately with a straw or spoon and enjoy your vibrant Cuban Batido!
