  • 1 tsp vanilla extract optional

Equipment

  • High-Powered Blender
  • Hand mixer or whisk
  • Tall Glasses
  • Spoons

Method
 

  1. Prepare Mango Base: Dice one mango and set aside. Place second mango flesh, ice, coconut water, and sweetener in a blender. Blend until a thick slush forms.
  2. Make Cheese Foam: Beat *softened* cream cheese, condensed milk, heavy cream, salt, and vanilla (if using) until thick, velvety, and dense.
  3. Build Drink: Divide diced mango cubes between two tall glasses.
  4. Add a few extra ice cubes, filling about 2/3 of the glass.
  5. Carefully pour the mango slush over the cubes.
  6. Gently spoon the dense cheese foam over the slush, filling to the brim.
  7. Create the Drip: Use a spoon to guide the foam over the rim, pulling it down the side for the intentional dripping effect shown in image_2.png.
  8. Garnish creatively for WordPress (cilantro or green onion 🧅🌱) and serve immediately.

Notes

Density is key: if the foam is too thin, it will sink. If too thick, it won't drip properly. The softening of the cream cheese is essential. Use a wide boba straw.
