Ingredients
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large mangoes, diced
- 8 cups ice
Instructions
- Add the water and sugar to a medium saucepan, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
- Add the diced mangoes, reduce heat to medium, and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Mash the mangos using a potato masher for a chunky consistency, or puree the mixture using a handheld immersion blender for a smooth consistency.
- Allow the mixture to reduce, uncovered, over medium-low heat, until it reaches a syrup-like consistency. This should take about 10 minutes.
- Remove it from the heat and allow it to cool on the counter for 30 minutes before serving.
- 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.
- 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.
