Batido de Mamey (Cuban Mamey Shake)
This batido de mamey is a creamy Cuban milkshake made with just 5 ingredients. Think ripe mamey, whole milk, sweetened condensed milk, sugar, and ice. It blends up in under 10 minutes and tastes just like the ones I grew up enjoying with un pan con bistec. Super cold, thick, refreshing, and full of nostalgia.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup mamey*
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
- 3 tablespoons sugar, to taste
- 1/2 cup crushed ice
Instructions
- Cut the mamey in half lengthwise, just like you’d slice an avocado, and remove the seed.
- Using a spoon, scoop out the mamey flesh and try not to eat all of it. That's the hard part! If it’s ripe, it should come out easily and feel soft, like a perfectly ripe avocado.
- Add the mamey, milk, sweetened condensed milk, sugar, and ice to a high-speed blender. Blend on high for 1–2 minutes, until smooth and creamy.
- Taste and adjust sweetness as desired. If you prefer a thinner consistency, you can blend with a bit more milk (or water).
- Pour into a glass and serve immediately. Enjoy on its own or with your favorite Cuban sandwich. Buen provecho!
Notes
* You can use 1 cup of frozen mamey pulp, if that's what you can find. Just allow the pulp to thaw slightly before adding it to the blender. Skip the ice.
