4.3 from 9 reviews

This restaurant-style mango lassi recipe is a refreshing and creamy Indian beverage made with ripe mangoes, whole milk, yogurt, and a touch of sweetness. Perfectly blended until smooth and icy cold, it delivers the authentic tropical flavors and a delightful texture that’s easy to prepare in just 10 minutes.

  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup ripe mango, preferably previously frozen
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/3 cup + 1 tbsp plain, whole-milk yogurt
  • 2-4 tbsp store-bought sweetened Indian mango pulp (optional but recommended)
  • 1.5-2 tbsp cane sugar (adjust according to sweetness of mango)
  • 3 large or 7-8 small ice cubes (use less if mango is frozen)

Instructions

  1. Add ingredients to blender: Combine mango, milk, yogurt, mango pulp, cane sugar, and ice cubes in a high-speed blender.
  2. Blend and adjust taste: Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and no longer icy. If the blender stalls, use the tamper or a spatula to push ingredients down. The texture will transform from smoothie-like to more liquid and pourable, resembling classic mango lassi.
  3. Taste and modify: Taste the mixture and add more sugar for sweetness, mango pulp for deeper mango flavor and color, or extra yogurt for a bit more tartness as desired.
  4. Serve immediately: Pour the mango lassi into a glass and serve fresh for the best flavor and texture.
  5. Store properly if needed: You may cover and refrigerate the mango lassi for up to 24 hours, but it’s best enjoyed fresh to maintain optimal taste and freshness.

Notes

  • Using previously frozen mango helps achieve a chilled texture without watering down the drink with too much ice.
  • Store-bought Indian mango pulp is optional but enhances flavor and color; it can be found at Indian grocery stores or online.
  • Adjust sugar based on the natural sweetness of your mangoes and personal preference.
  • If the blender gets stuck during blending, use a tamper or stop and scrape down the sides to ensure even blending.
  • Consume within 24 hours for the freshest taste.
