Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 fresh ripe mangoes
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 8 leaves mint leaves
- 4 cups ice cubes
Instructions
Peel the mangoes and slice the flesh away from the pit. Cut the mango flesh into small chunks.
In a blender, combine the mango chunks, water, lemon juice, and honey. Blend until smooth and consistent.
Pour the mango mixture into a shallow dish and freeze for about 2 hours until it's partially frozen.
Remove the dish from the freezer, scrape the surface of the mango mixture with a fork to create a shaved ice texture, and return it to the freezer.
Continue to scrape the surface with a fork every 30 minutes for about 1 to 2 more hours until the mango mixture becomes fully frozen yet fluffy and granular.
Just before serving, prepare the shaved ice by placing ice cubes in a blender or ice crusher and pulse until you achieve the desired fine consistency.
To serve, scoop the mango shaved ice into bowls, topping each serving with a generous portion of freshly shaved ice.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves and serve immediately for a refreshing dessert.
