Add to Shopping List

Instructions

  1. Add the water and sugar to a medium saucepan, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
  2. Add the diced mangoes, reduce heat to medium, and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Mash the mangos using a potato masher for a chunky consistency, or puree the mixture using a handheld immersion blender for a smooth consistency.
  4. Allow the mixture to reduce, uncovered, over medium-low heat, until it reaches a syrup-like consistency. This should take about 10 minutes.
  5. Remove it from the heat and allow it to cool on the counter for 30 minutes before serving.
  6. When ready to serve, crush and blend 4 cups of ice cubes in the blender. Transfer the crushed ice to a large bowl and repeat with the remaining ice.
  7. To assemble, pack the crushed ice into a cup and pour ¼ cup of the mango syrup on top. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use different fruit. If you don’t like mangoes, you could use raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, peaches, kiwis, or even shredded coconut.
  • Add some spice. Top off your raspados with a drizzle of chamoy and a sprinkle of chile lime seasoning like Tajín.
