Notes
Fresh Mangoes - Traditionally Mango Mastani is made using Alphonso mangoes. Here in the US, I love using other sweet varieties like Keitt, Kent, Haden, and Atulfo that are readily available. In the winter months, you can also use store-bought mango pulp. I would recommend Alphonso or Kesar mango pulp available in Indian grocery stores.
Milk - Creamy whole milk works best, but I often use 2% milk. You can easily make this recipe by using dairy-free almond milk or soy milk.
Ice cream - I recommend using vanilla ice cream as it compliments the mango flavors. You can also use mango ice cream. And if you do not eat eggs check out egg-less ice cream brands like Tillamook and Breyers.
Nuts - I love adding pistachios as the toppings, but you can add nuts of your choice and also can be made nut-free if you are allergic to nuts.
Cherries - Optional topping but I would recommend grabbing a bottle of maraschino cherries that s easily available in most US grocery stores. After all, it's the cherry on top that makes this drink visually striking! In India, tutti fruit is often added as a topping, so if you have it on hand go ahead and use it.
