A refreshing and creamy frozen mango lassi with a subtle twist of cardamom and rose water, perfect for a cool, calming treat that feels indulgent yet light.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (300g) diced ripe mangoes (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup (240ml) plain full-fat yogurt (Greek yogurt optional for extra thickness)
  • ½ cup (120ml) whole milk (or almond/coconut milk for dairy-free)
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1 teaspoon rose water
  • 1 cup (120g) ice cubes
  • Optional garnishes: crushed pistachios or ground cardamom

Instructions

  1. If using fresh mangoes, peel and dice about 2 cups (300g) of ripe mango flesh.
  2. In a blender, combine diced mangoes, 1 cup (240ml) plain yogurt, ½ cup (120ml) milk, 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup, ½ teaspoon ground cardamom, 1 teaspoon rose water, and 1 cup (120g) ice cubes.
  3. Blend on high for 1-2 minutes until creamy and frothy with a silky smooth texture and no chunks.
  4. Taste and adjust sweetness or cardamom flavor as desired; add more honey or a pinch of cardamom and blend briefly if needed.
  5. Pour into tall glasses and garnish with crushed pistachios or a dusting of cardamom if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use ripe, soft mangoes for best flavor and smooth texture. Add rose water slowly and adjust to taste to avoid overpowering floral notes. For dairy-free version, substitute yogurt and milk with coconut yogurt and coconut milk. Smaller ice cubes blend better for a smoother texture. You can prep the lassi without ice and blend with ice just before serving to keep it fresh and creamy.
