Ingredients
-
Mango Layer: 2 cups frozen mango chunks, 1/2 cup orange juice, and 1/4 cup Greek yogurt.
-
Coconut Layer: 1 cup frozen banana slices, 1/2 cup thick coconut milk (canned works best for the color), and a splash of honey or maple syrup.
-
Toppings: Whipped cream, fresh mango cubes, toasted coconut flakes, or a dash of graham cracker crumbs.
Instructions
-
Prepare the Mango Base: In a high-speed blender, combine the frozen mango, orange juice, and yogurt. Blend until completely smooth and thick. If it’s too runny, add more frozen mango; if it’s too thick to move, add a tiny splash of juice. Pour half of this into a separate bowl and set aside.
-
Create the Coconut Middle: Rinse your blender. Add the frozen banana, coconut milk, and sweetener. Blend until it reaches a creamy, soft-serve consistency.
-
The Layering Technique: To get those clean lines seen in the image, grab a tall glass. Pour the first half of the mango mixture into the bottom. Gently spoon the coconut mixture over the mango, spreading it to the edges. Finally, pour the remaining mango mixture on top.
-
The Grand Finale: Top with a generous swirl of whipped cream. Garnish with fresh mango dice and a sprinkle of toasted coconut or crumbs for that extra crunch.
Pro Tip: Use a long spoon to slightly “swirl” the edges of the layers against the glass for a marbled aesthetic, and always use a bamboo or reusable straw to keep it eco-friendly!
