Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups ripe mango chunks peeled and pitted
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice freshly squeezed if possible
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder adjust to taste
  • 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup optional, for sweetness
  • 1 cup ice cubes for a thick, icy texture

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Knife
  • Cutting Board

Method
 

  1. Prepare your mango by peeling and pitting it, then cut into small chunks for easier blending.
  2. Add the mango chunks, lime juice, chili powder, honey (if using), and ice cubes into your blender.
  3. Secure the lid on the blender and blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth, thick, and frosty, about 30-45 seconds. You should see a vibrant orange color and a creamy consistency.
  4. Stop the blender and check the texture; if it's too thick, add a splash of water or lime juice and blend briefly to loosen. If you prefer it colder or thicker, add more ice and blend again.
  5. Once the slushie is smooth and well-chilled, pour it into glasses. The mixture should be thick and slide easily when poured, with visible flecks of chili powder.
  6. Immediately serve the mango chili slushie with a garnish of lime wedge or a sprinkle of chili powder on top for an extra kick. Enjoy the refreshing, spicy-sweet blend!

Notes

For a more intense chili flavor, add a pinch more chili powder or a few thin slices of fresh chili. You can also adjust the sweetness to your preference with more honey or agave syrup.
