Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (300g) frozen mango chunks
  • 1 cup (240ml) full-fat canned coconut milk, chilled overnight
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lime zest
  • 1–2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Chill the can of coconut milk in the fridge overnight to allow the cream to separate and thicken.
  2. Measure out 2 cups (300g) of frozen mango chunks and zest 1 teaspoon of fresh lime zest. Warm honey or maple syrup slightly if using.
  3. Scoop out about 1 cup (240ml) of solid coconut cream from the chilled can and place it in a high-speed blender.
  4. Add the frozen mango chunks to the blender and blend on high for 1-2 minutes until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
  5. Add lime zest, honey or maple syrup (if using), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend again for 30 seconds until evenly combined and thick.
  6. If the whip is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of reserved coconut water or cold water and blend briefly to loosen the texture.
  7. Serve immediately in chilled bowls or cups, garnished with extra lime zest or a lime wedge.

Notes

Chilling the coconut milk overnight is essential for a thick, creamy texture. Use a high-powered blender and pulse frequently to avoid lumps. If your blender is less powerful, let mango thaw for 5 minutes before blending. Adjust sweetness to taste or omit sweeteners for a natural flavor. Leftovers can be frozen for up to 2 weeks; thaw 10-15 minutes before serving and stir to restore texture.
