Batido de mamey (frappè cubano al mamey)

Ingredienti

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

Preparazione

1. 1

   Cut the mamey in half lengthwise, just like you’d slice an avocado, and remove the seed.

2. 2

   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.

3. 3

   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.

4. 4

   Taste and adjust sweetness as desired. If you prefer a thinner consistency, you can blend with a bit more milk (or water).

5. 5

   Pour into a glass and serve immediately. Enjoy on its own or with your favorite Cuban sandwich. Buen provecho!
