INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup of orange juice or water
- 1 cup of frozen mango
- 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder
- A pinch of cayenne pepper
- A pinch of salt
- Juice from half a lime
- 1 packet of Stevia (optional)
DIRECTIONS
- Gather Ingredients for Mango Slush
Prepare Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients—frozen mango, orange juice or water, chili powder, cayenne pepper, salt, lime, and Stevia (if using). Squeeze the juice from half a lime and set it aside.
- Blend Mango and Liquid Base
Blend the Base: In a high-speed blender, add the frozen mango and your choice of orange juice or water. The orange juice will provide a sweeter, fruitier base, while water will let the mango’s natural flavor shine through. Blend until the mixture is smooth and slightly thick, creating a slushy texture.
- Add Spices for Flavor
Add the Spice: Once your base is blended, add 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder, a pinch of cayenne pepper, and a pinch of salt to the blender. The chili powder adds warmth, while the cayenne gives a subtle kick. The salt will enhance the sweetness and overall flavor profile.
- Incorporate Fresh Lime Juice
Incorporate Lime Juice: Pour in the freshly squeezed lime juice, which will add a bright, tangy contrast to the sweetness of the mango and the heat of the spices. Blend again to evenly distribute the flavors.
- Adjust Sweetness to Taste
Adjust Sweetness: Taste the mixture, and if you prefer a sweeter slush, add one packet of Stevia or your preferred sweetener. Blend once more to mix everything thoroughly.
- Final Blend for Smooth Texture
Final Blend: Blend the mixture on high for another 15-30 seconds, ensuring a smooth and uniform texture.
Pour the Spicy Mango Slush into a chilled glass. If you like, garnish with a slice of lime or a sprinkle of chili powder on top for an extra touch of flair. Sip and savor the refreshing and spicy flavors of this unique tropical slush. Perfect for cooling down on a hot day or whenever you want a bold, exciting treat!
