Notes
- Fresh ripe mangoes provide the best flavor and natural sweetness for this recipe.
- If you prefer a thinner shake, blend in an additional ¼ cup of milk.
- Prepare the mango mixture ahead of time and refrigerate, but assemble the layers just before serving to keep the graham crumbs from becoming soggy.
- Adjust the sugar depending on the sweetness of your mangoes.
- Frozen mango chunks can be used in place of fresh mangoes if necessary, though fresh mangoes offer the best texture and flavor.
- Serve immediately for the best presentation and texture.
