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.

📝 Ingredients

• 1 cup mamey*
• 1 cup whole milk
• 3 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
• 3 tablespoons sugar (to taste)
• 1/2 cup crushed ice

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Cut the mamey in half lengthwise, just like you’d slice an avocado, and remove the seed.
2. 2Using 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.
3. 3Add 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.
4. 4Taste and adjust sweetness as desired. If you prefer a thinner consistency, you can blend with a bit more milk (or water).
5. 5Pour into a glass and serve immediately. Enjoy on its own or with your favorite Cuban sandwich. Buen provecho!
