Mangonada, also known as chamoyada is a delicious Mexican mango slushie with a very particular taste. A perfect frozen treat that will change the way you think of slushies.
Place a small shallow plate with some Tajín on it and another with chamoy sauce. Cut some fresh mango into cubes for garnishing and have all ingredients on hand.
Now dip the edges of your glasses in the chamoy sauce and shake it a bit to remove excess.
Next, coat the glass with the Tajín powder making sure it sticks well. Set aside.
Place frozen mango and juice into a blender. Add ice, sugar, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth.
Make layers by pouring some mango mixture into the cup and chamoy sauce until the cup is full.
Finish by adding some cubes of fresh mango on top, sprinkle with Tajín powder and place a banderilla candy.
Notes
Choose ripe mangoes: Look for mangoes that are slightly soft to the touch and have a fruity aroma. If the mangoes are not ripe enough, the drink may taste too sour or bitter.
Use fresh limes: Avoid using bottled lime juice.
Adjust the spice level: The amount of chili powder and chamoy sauce used can be adjusted to suit your personal taste.
Blend until smooth: To achieve a smooth and creamy texture, blend the mangoes, lime juice, and sugar until there are no lumps or chunks remaining.
Make & Serve: Mangonadas are best served immediately after blending, while they are still frozen and creamy.
